A disqualified driver led police on a high-speed chase through narrow residential streets before getting stuck as he attempted to flee the wrong way down East Lancashire Road.
Anthony Cook, of Dyson Hall Drive, Fazakerley, reached speeds of 80mph as he drove through North Liverpool on May 28, running red lights and hurtling over speed bumps so fast sparks flew from the bottom of his car.
He was spotted by police on Rice Lane at around 1.15am, and was pursued at high-speed for approximately five minutes before his car became trapped by a lamp post as he turned in the wrong direction onto the East Lancs Road.
