A dangerous driver smashed into a police car during a high speed chase that saw him driving on the wrong side of the road.
Antony Jones took off from police when they attempted to pull him over on November 20, 2020, in Spennymoor town centre and hit speeds of up to 80mph in 30mph areas. The 29-year-old drove on the wrong side of the road at times during the chase in an attempt to lose the pursuing officers.
Jones, of Station Road East, Trimdon Station, appeared at Durham Crown Court on Monday to be sentenced for dangerous driving, drug-driving, and driving without insurance or a licence. He pleaded guilty to the charges at a previous hearing.
