HE DROVE THROUGH RED LIGHTS AND WAS SEEN DOING 90MPH IN 30 ZONE
A road menace who reached 90mph in a 30 zone before writing off two cars has been jailed.
Jack Fowler, jailed last year for his part in a riot in Sunderland, led police on a pursuit which was so dangerous officers repeatedly had to pull out of it for the safety of other road users.
On May 30 last year, he was spotted at the A189 at Moor Farm Roundabout in a Land Rover Discovery which had been stolen from outside a house in Newcastle three days earlier. When police tried to pull it over, its speed increased to more than 100mph.
Fowler refused to pull over and made several dangerous manoeuvres, going through red lights and on the wrong side of the road as he headed towards Gosforth. His driving was so dangerous, officers aborted the pursuit at that stage. A short time later, he was spotted in a bus lane on the Great North Road, doing 90mph in a 30mph zone.
