THE independent police watchdog has launched an investigation after a driver died following a pursuit by officers.
The man died at the scene after his car, a Dacia Sandero, ploughed into the side of The White Lion pub on York Street, Heywood, at around 3.15am yesterday.
Greater Manchester Police said officers in a marked vehicle had tried to stop the car on Bolton Road moments before the smash.
But they said the driver did not pull over and a short chase began onto Rochdale Road East.
A police spokesperson said a decision was made to stop the pursuit.
The car then crashed into the pub "shortly after".
The Independent Office for Police Conduct is now investigating the crash.
