"As the Astra reversed it collided with the police vehicle.
"The Astra then drove off at speed.
"Police believe the Astra had been stolen and was on false plates.
"Police terminated the pursuit as the risk of injury to police and public was too high.
"Traffic officers investigate the collision.
"The matter has not been referred to the IPCC as this was a damage only collision."
