Dad's 'moment of madness' chasing burglars ruined his life and cost him unborn child

A dad who chased burglars in his motor has told how his "moment of madness" ruined his life after he ended up in prison. Adam White said his decision to drive after the intruders cost him his £60k-a-year job, his freedom and, most tragically, his unborn child.

Adam, 34, said he will regret what he did for the rest of his life, adding: "It was a moment of ­madness. Thank God no one died. I have paid a high price.” Adam spend £50,000 on legal fees before being convicted at Luton Crown Court of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and ­sentenced to 22 months in January, reports the Mirror.

Adam, who had no previous convictions, lost control of his car and would-be the house-breakers, Taylor Benford and Ryan Paul, ended up in hospital after coming off their stolen motorbike. Speaking to The Sunday People about his prison nightmare, Adam said: “The first week was so hard, I couldn’t stop crying.”
