Ten French police injured in Paris car chase

Thirteen people including 10 French police officers were injured in a car pile-up following a high-speed chase through the streets of Paris.

The driver refused to stop at the request of police in Paris early on Saturday morning, authorities said.

The pursuit, spanning several kilometres, ended with the driver losing control and smashing into a traffic light pole before two police cars tight on his tail crashed into the back of the vehicle, prosecutors said.
