A man committed his fourth offence of drink-driving after he was pursued by police before he crashed. Christian Evans was double the drink drive limit when officers tried to stop him as he drove to buy more drink.
His silver-coloured Renault Clio was in the Mansfield area in the early hours of July 17, Nottingham Crown Court heard on Wednesday (November 9). A police check flagged the car was uninsured - and they followed, displaying their vehicle's blue lights.
But Evans drove off, going through red traffic lights, driving in excess of 75mph and at 60mph for four minutes before he collided with a man in a 1964-plate BMW, who was shocked and had shoulder and back pain.
