An Audi driver tore through roadwork at speeds over 70mph during a dramatic police chase. The heart-stopping moment happened after Callum Powell drove along Ridgeway, Top Valley, and surrounding roads away from a pursing cop car.
He sped away because he had a knife in the high-perfomance motor. Nottingham Crown Court heard he drove over a pedestrian crossing on the wrong side of the carriageway into the path of an oncoming vehicle, but luckily they did not collide.
The car went through red lights on the A611, Hucknall Road, and forced its way through the nearside of a vehicle turning left, narrowly avoiding a collision. After tearing through built-up areas at high speeds for just short of five minutes, he stopped near a Covid 19 testing site, got out and was caught near Ridgeway.
