A personal trainer who was on a first date when he caused a “catastrophic collision” on the A1 that wrecked five police cars has been jailed for 14 months.
A judge at Newcastle crown court on Monday told Mazyar Azarbonyad, 20, it was “nothing short of a miracle that no one was more seriously injured or that there were not multiple fatalities” in the incident that led to seven officers needing hospital treatment and caused traffic disruption across the north-east of England.
