A wanted driver who sped the wrong way along a motorway hard shoulder has been jailed. Kieran Philibin, from Stockport, reached 98mph while being chased by police on the M65.
At about 8.30pm on July 31, Lancashire police officers were looking for a blue Ford Fiesta which was believed to be using false registration plates. The vehicle was registered to Philibin.
The Fiesta was spotted by police on Princess Way, Burnley, and followed onto Active Way. Philibin failed to stop for officers and a pursuit began. The Fiesta jumped a red light and Philibin went the wrong way around a roundabout and then the wrong way down the dual carriageway section of Princess Way heading towards Junction 11 of the M65.
