Two 'British people smugglers' are seriously wounded in shoot-out with police during 125mph chase on French motorway which also left a motorcyclist dead

A motorcyclist died and two suspected people smugglers in a British registered car were seriously wounded by Belgian police today during a shoot-out on a packed motorway. The drama unfolded on the A16, close to the French port of Dunkirk, after a high-speed chase that started across the border in Belgium. A car being chased by officers reached speeds of up to 125mph, and became so badly damaged that it was travelling on its wheel rims.
