A driver who was serving a three-year ban was jailed after a 100mph police chase ended in a car crash. The driver, Liam Woods, was caught after speeding through multiple red lights and weaving in and out of traffic.
This was the dramatic moment a driver, who was serving a three-year ban, was caught after a 100mph police chase where he flipped his car into a garden wall. Liam Woods, 25, from Farnley, Leeds, was told he was 'lucky' he did not kill anyone after speeding through multiple red lights in his black Volkswagen Golf. At Bradford Crown Court yesterday he was jailed for 16 months for multiple driving offences.
Police dashcam footage shown in court captured the 25-year-old weaving in and out of traffic in wet conditions on predominantly residential roads. Daisy Wrigley, for the prosecution, described how the chase began in Tong Road, Bradford, at 9.20pm on December 4. Woods was seen by officers going at 40mph in the 30mph zone and almost colliding with another vehicle in an attempt to overtake. He then continued to overtake on the one-lane carriageway and hit 80mph after failing to stop for police when the officers activated their blue lights, the court heard. Woods spent prolonged periods of time on the wrong side of the road, ignored bollards instructing motorists to keep left, and ran through multiple red lights- hitting speeds of 100mph. The pursuit came to an end when Woods went through a red light at Gomersal Hill Top at 70mph and collided with another vehicle. The car lifted into the air and came to a rest on its roof at the front of a house on Oxford Road- after destroying a bus stop, telegraph pole, and garden wall. Woods got out of the car through a smashed window and ran from the scene, while his female passenger also exited in the same manner, the court heard. The defendant was found in a garden and identified as being wanted on prison recal
