Police chased a suspected drunk driver through Bridgnorth country lanes - reaching speeds of more than 100mph to catch him.
Shropshire's Operational Patrol Unit said it had a "lengthy pursuit" of a suspected drink and drug driver at around 1.40am on Wednesday.
The driver's vehicle suffered temporary engine failure and he was arrested after police boxed the car in.
The driver has now been released under investigation pending results of a blood test for drugs.

"The pursuit started around the Rudge Heath area, through Chesterton, along the rabbit run back to Sutton Maddock then back down the A442 towards Bridgnorth.
"We stopped the vehicle just past the Hundred House Hotel."
