A driver caused a passenger life-changing injuries when he crashed while being chased by police. Father-of-four Ben Witts was in a friend's BMW 1 Series when he gave people a lift from a pub, including a woman.
When police tried to pull him over he simply turned up the car's music and sped off at 100mph through a 30mph zone, before crashing and flipping the BMW onto its roof, Bristol Crown Court heard.
Police had to haul the woman from the vehicle as it caught fire. She sustained extensive spinal injuries which have completely decimated her life.
