A dangerous driver caused serious injury to a police officer after smashing head-on into his car during a County Durham chase.
Christopher John Nash took off from police when they attempted to pull him over in Peterlee in the early hours of June 17, last year. But the 41-year-old led them on a high-speed chase through County Durham, hitting speeds of up to 100mph.
The pursuit finally came to an abrupt end when Nash crashed head-on into a police car, knocking one of the officers unconscious and breaking his wrist. The crash was so severe, both police officers had to be cut out of their car. When Nash was caught, a roadside test showed he'd been taking cocaine, but he refused to give a blood sample back at the station.
