An intoxicated driver crashed into a lamppost during a police chase and left his passenger unconscious before running and hiding. He later refused to allow police to take a blood sample for testing.
Johnny Myers, 22, was pursued by police at around 1am on October 12 last year in Cardiff after they tried to pull him over for driving in a suspicious manner. He initially pulled over but revved his engine and sped off on the wrong side of the road when an officer was making his way out of the police vehicle.
A blue Peugeot 207 driven by the defendant was pursued along Cathedral Road towards Western Avenue. A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Tuesday heard police lost Myers but he was seen again in Birchgrove and was followed by another officer.
