According to West Yorkshire Police, officers received reports of a BMW failing to stop following a number of collisions.In the first crash, on Wood Lane, Ali had caused "significant damage" to both his own car and the Tiguan, officers said.

He then overtook other vehicles before going on to Shroggs Road, where the other collisions took place.He also appeared to be under the influence of drugs but refused to give a sample of blood after being taken to hospital.Speaking after Ali's sentencing on Monday at Bradford Crown Court, Det Sgt Kris Roberts said: "Ali's appalling driving left three people needing treatment for their injuries.
