Scenes taken from an action movie took place in Paris early on Saturday morning.

A car driver refused to stop at the police order, which led to a long car chase through the southern parts of the French capital. Only after several kilometers did the wild journey end when the chased driver drove into a traffic light near the Montparnassetornet.

Surveillance cameras show how three police cars then drove into the crashed car and each other.

A total of thirteen people, including ten police officers, were taken to hospitals, all with minor injuries.
