Thirteen people – ten of them police officers – were injured after a car chase ended in a pile-up in the French capital in the early hours of Saturday, reports BBC News with this video of the multiple crashes.

The accident, near Montparnasse train station, occurred after a driver refused orders to stop early on Saturday.

Instead, the black car – with two other people on board - sped away only to hit a post, with three police cars colliding with it and each other in turn.
