A disqualified driver who led police on a dangerous chase through Bootle before crashing into another car has been jailed for 16 months.
Paul Hazlett, 44, sped through red lights, drove on the wrong side of the road and ignored give-way markings after fleeing an officer on Hawthorne Road.
Crash and Arrest
The chase ended when his Audi crashed into a red Seat Leon, leaving its driver with minor injuries. Police later stopped Hazlett using a stinger device and a four-car tactical box.
Hazlett, of Boode Croft, Stockbridge Village, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, driving without insurance, failing to stop for police and driving while disqualified.
Police Comment
Chief Inspector Gavin Dixon said his driving showed a "complete disregard" for the safety of other road users.
