A banned drink driver on a suspended sentenced who slammed into an oncoming car in a police chase has been spared immediate jail. Police tried to pull over Taylor Williams when they spotted the Mercedes car he was driving leaving a pub in the early hours.
Bristol Crown Court heard that, instead of stopping, he drove off at speed before crashing into a Mazda MX5 being driven by Sebastian Counsell. Thankfully no-one was seriously injured in the smash and Williams, who tried to flee the scene, was arrested.
Williams, 20, of Hayward Road in Staple Hill, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving while disqualified and without insurance, and driving with excess alcohol, in September 2020. He appeared for sentence on Wednesday (March 16, 2022).
