"However the driver of this vehicle did not want to stop to speak with police, and ended up colliding with a wall.

"The driver is currently in custody for aggravated taking without consent, failing to stop for police, no insurance, disqualified driving and possession with intent to supply.

"The moral of the story is don’t use your phone whilst driving."
