A suspected drug driver who travelled from Oldham to north Wales for a 'drive out' ended up getting arrested after speeding past an ambulance on its way to an emergency.
North Wales Police caught up with the car after the driver 'flew' past paramedics when they had their sirens on.
Police said five occupants were in the vehicle who had travelled from Oldham to North Wales for a drive around the region's roads.
The driver ended up being arrested after failing a roadside drug test.
In a post on Facebook, the North Wales Police Intercept Team said: "This driver overtook an ambulance on an emergency run, it had its blue lights and sirens on driving above the speed limit and the driver still flew by at excess speed, with a tyre that could’ve blown at any time, unbelievable.
"Luckily the eagle eyed North West Police Roads Policing Unit officer found the vehicle and we assisted in searching the five occupants from the Oldham area.
"The driver however was arrested for failing a drug wipe, driving with no license and will also be reported for breaching COVID regulations... not worth it for a 'drive out'."
Police did not reveal where in North Wales the incident had taken place.
