AN unlicensed driver was on parole when he allegedly led police on a pursuit at Jesmond early on Wednesday morning before he struck a traffic controller standing on the roadway, fracturing her pelvis.
Police allege Tristan Robert McLaren, 30, failed to stop after knocking down the 21-year-old woman and was followed to nearby Kiah Avenue where he jumped from the stolen car and fled on foot before being tackled to the ground.
