A woman has been taken to hospital after a car involved in a police chase crashed into a house.

The driver of the car, which caused "considerable structural damage" to the house, has still not yet been found by police.

The pursuit started at around 10pm on Sunday, December 12, in Crown Farm Way in Mansfield.

Around 15 minutes later, the BMW, which had failed to stop, had collided with the house in High Street in Edwinstowe.

The woman, who was taken to hospital, received minor injuries and has since been discharged, police said.
