A dangerous driver who crashed into parked car as he attempted to escape from police has been jailed. Alan Jackson, aged 44, was spotted driving with suspected cloned number plates and was followed by officers on routine patrol on Saturday, October 2 last year.
As Jackson continued along the A60 towards Nottingham, the Ford Fiesta he was driving was targeted by a police Stinger device which punctured his tyres. Still trying to drive away, Jackson drove on the wrong side of the road as he passed through red traffic lights.
He was eventually boxed in by two police cars – but not before colliding with a parked car in Daybrook. He gave a false name to officers when he was arrested. Police say he then tried to shift the blame to his female passenger, falsely claiming she was driving at the time of the incident.
