Passengers of a taxi were rescued by firefighters using specialised equipment following a two-car crash in the early hours of Sunday morning, 31 August, in the Holbrooks area of Coventry.

The incident took place around 9.30pm on Saturday, August 30, on Victoria Street when an intoxicated man entered the parked Uber and demanded to be driven.

Waqas Pervez, 35, has had his appeal denied after his licence was revoked for attempting an illegal pickup in Manchester.
