- 4 months ago
Dash-cam footage shows the moment a reckless driver rammed a police car during a dramatic off-road chase - before crashing into a tree.
Andrew James, 47, was travelling in a stolen Ford Fiesta when traffic cops tried to pull him over in Mansfield, Notts., on October 27 last year.
The vehicle, which had been taken from South Yorkshire the previous month, was travelling on false plates as officers began to follow it along Southwell Road West.
Shocking video captured James turning along a dirt track popular with dog walkers in a desperate bid to escape from the pursuing officers.
