A police chase has ended in chaos after three vehicles crashed on an A-road.
Two teens were injured after a police pursuit ended on the hard shoulder of the A406 Crooked Billet roundabout in Walthamstow, east London.
The crash happened after a car collided with a man on a moped before hitting another car on the busy roundabout shortly before 3pm.
Metropolitan Police said the pursuit was authorised after a car escaped from officers on Cooks Ferry roundabout.

It sparked a major emergency response with the ambulance service, fire brigade and the air ambulance in attendance.
The moped driver suffered minor injuries while the driver and passenger of both cars, believed to be in their teens, were rushed to hospital.
The police said they were waiting for an update on their condition.
A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said it received reports of a crash at the junction of Chingford Road and Billet Road, Chingford, at about 2.59pm.
They said: ‘We sent resources to the scene, including ambulance crews, an incident response officer and London’s Air Ambulance.
‘The first of our crews arrived at the scene in three minutes.’
