Drunken South Shields Amazon van driver sparked police chase after going for McDonald's

A drunken Amazon delivery driver sparked a dangerous police chase after being caught over the limit at McDonald's - then did a similar thing weeks later while banned and on bail.

Police were called to the drive through of the fast foot outlet in South Shields after concerns Corey Gray was over the limit in his work van. He tried to get away from the chasing police car, driving at speed and dangerously with just one hand on the wheel for most of the pursuit.

Newcastle Crown Court heard he was then spotted driving a car by the same sergeant who had arrested him the first time, after he had appeared in court and been given an interim disqualification while his case progressed through the system. He again failed to stop and sparked a chase then refused to give a breath test when collared.
