A THIEF who crashed a stolen Land Rover head-on into two women just after police abandoned a high speed chase has been jailed.

Layton Clenton was driving the powerful 4x4 on the wrong side of the A449 Stafford Road in Wolverhampton at speeds of up to 70mph when he collided with an oncoming Ford Fiesta on September 30.

One of the women, a student carer, suffered multiple serious injuries in the horrific crash and was left in a coma for several days.

Clenton, 19, fled the scene but was traced and was arrested on October 4.

In February he admitted causing serious injury by dangerous driving, aggravated vehicle taking and failing to stop for police.

He further admitted driving without insurance, driving while disqualified, failing to stop after an accident and being involved in and failing to report an accident.

Clenton, of Tennyson Road, Wolverhampton, was this week sentenced at Wolverhampton Crown Court to four years in prison.
