This the moment a 19-year-old man was arrested after leading police on a high-speed car chase on the wrong side of the road. At around 9.10am on Monday, May 20 this year officers from Merseyside Police 's Matrix Roads Policing Unit began following a blue Nissan Juke which had suspected cloned registration plates. The driver, Marshall Taylor, failed to stop for police before driving the car at speed down the wrong side of the East Lancashire Road from Haydock towards St Helens .
The 19-year-old, of Bank Street, Newton-le-Willows, was arrested and later pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, driving with no insurance and no licence. He was today sentenced to 30 months in prison. Inspector Phil McManus from the Matrix Roads Policing Unit said: “The actions of this driver on that day – driving at speed and on the wrong side of the road with no regard for other motorists - could clearly have had serious or even fatal consequences.
