A driver has been arrested after failing to stop for police and getting down a public footpath.
Officers signalled for the man to pull over on Bolton Road in Ashton-in-Makerfield.
While trying to get away, police say he took a wrong turn and drove down a rural path.
His vehicle then became stuck in some mud.
GMP say he failed a roadside preliminary drug wipe and tested positive for cocaine and cannabis.
He has since been arrested while officers obtain a blood sample for an evidential test.
In a post, GMP Wigan West said: “Transport unit arrest! Officers from E-Relief working on Bolton Road, Ashton In Makerfield have made an arrest.
"Initially the driver of this van has failed to stop when requested to by officers. Unfortunately, whilst trying to evade them he took a wrong turn and ended up stuck in the mud on a public footpath!
"Subsequently the driver has failed a roadside preliminary drug wipe, showing positive for the presence of both cocaine and cannabis.
"He has been arrested in order to obtain blood for an evidential test."
