A driver climbed over his partner as she lay in the passenger seat with life-threatening injuries to escape from the scene of a crash. Craig Hirtle then returned later to try drag her injured body through a window before fleeing again, a court heard.
The 44-year-old crashed the Vauxhall Corsa into another car after speeding through a red light in south Manchester.
The driver, who had been banned from the roads, went through the light that had been red for 13 seconds at the junction between Nell Lane and Mauldeth Road West in Chorlton on 24 September 2020. He was arrested by police six days later in another high-speed chase, Manchester Crown Court heard.
