A Derbyshire driver who led police on a high speed pursuit and crashed – all while on cocaine – was arrested by officers.

On Wednesday, September 28, the Derbyshire Roads Policing Team attempted to stop a driver in Derby to check his documents.

According to a DRPU spokesperson, however, the motorist had “other ideas” – speeding off “dangerously” and leading officers on a high speed pursuit out of the city.

The DRPU said that “cornering wasn’t his strong point” and eventually, the driver crashed his vehicle.
