No charges have yet been brought against the driver of a car that crashed through the front of a property in Chirk Bank last month.
North Wales Police say that enquiries are 'ongoing' after a car flew through the air and smashed through the front of the property in Chirk Bank on Halloween (October 31).
The driver was being pursued at the time of the crash when he attempted to cross a bridge that was closed for roadworks, hitting a large pile of rubble and flipping through the air. The force has referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Complaints because the incident happened following a chase.

The owners of the property have also confirmed that the car was removed from the property at the end of last week and that repairs can now get under way.
The crash sent large pieces of tarmac and debris towards the houses opposite while flipping the car over and sending it airborne in what the homeowners described as an "Evil Knievel" manouevre.

It then skimmed over a parked car and crashed through the front of the property opposite the bridge.
The driver was arrested at the scene, but West Midlands Ambulance Service confirmed that he sustained “potentially serious injuries in the collision”.
Officers from North Wales Police de-arrested the man after he was admitted to hospital, and say there have been no changes to the situation since.
