Horden driver led police on dangerous chase in new car before smashing head-on into motorist

A dangerous driver led police on a midday chase before smashing head-on into another motorist.

Kieron Storey had taken amphetamines prior to getting behind the wheel of a yellow Fiat Punto on March 11 last year, which he'd only bought that day. The 31-year-old was later seen driving "erratically" by police in the Easington Colliery area, but failed to pull over, instead leading officers on a dangerous chase through a built up area.

Storey, of Twelfth Street, Horden, appeared at Durham Crown Court on Friday to be sentenced for dangerous driving. He had pleaded guilty to the charge at a previous hearing.
