A speeding driver “outran” the police in a chase through Widnes as his "high-powered" Volkswagen Golf reached 130mph forcing officers to call off the pursuit.
An unmarked patrol spotted the white VW on Pitt Street “weaving in and out” of traffic towards the Mersey Gateway bridge on the morning of October 13.
Behind the wheel of the Golf was lorry driver Ben Winstanley, 39, who only a month prior had been stopped for drug driving, relating to cannabis and a grinder had been found in his centre console.
