PEDESTRIANS and other drivers were forced to take evasive action when a motorist drove through a Somerset town, according to police.

Officers are seeking witnesses and dashcam or CCTV footage of the incident after the driver failed to stop for police in Yeovil.

An Avon and Somerset Police spokesperson said the motorist, who was driving an orange/gold Nissan GTR, was suspected of driving dangerously on the A3088 Watercombe Lane at around 2.55pm on Tuesday, September 20.

The driver subsequently stopped in Beaconsfield Road and provided his details to officers.

"We are aware a number of pedestrians and drivers had to take action to avoid a collision and therefore are hopeful there may be witnesses that can help us with our enquiries.
