Mark Williams drove recklessly at 60mph in a 30 zone
A dangerous driver led police on a wild goose chase, speeding past children and forcing a woman to dive for cover as he reached 60mph in a 30 zone.
He continued to drive recklessly, swerving into oncoming traffic a number of times and running red lights at speed as he turned back onto Bank Lane, forcing one pedestrian to press herself against a metal railing to avoid him.He ran several more red lights as he made his way onto Mill Lane, where groups of children were playing, and Glover's Brow.
Williams, of Langton Road, Kirkby, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, driving while disqualified, driving without insurance, driving without a licence, and failing to stop after a road accident. Carmel Wilde, defending, said Williams had spiralled into drug use and depression after his friend was stabbed to death at a house party in December 2021. She said: "He seems to have spiralled out of control from that point. However he has come a long way in rehab and he is now alcohol and drug free. He has suffered nerve damage in his hands.
