Cannabis teen’s 124mph chase
A TEENAGER sped through villages at up to 1 4mph as he led police on a ten-mile chase while high on cannabis.
Dominic Haywood, 18, had three times the prosecution limit of the drug in his system when he got behind the wheel of a BMW months after passing his test.
Last month he was jailed for eight months after admitting dangerous driving and drug-driving. Coventry Crown Court heard Haywood was spotted by police before accelerating to 1 4mph as he roared through 40mph zones in a series of Warwickshire villages in July.
At one point he overtook two other vehicles at 60mph on a blind bend. Ditching his BMW in a field, he was found lying in the grass and told police: ‘I just panicked.’
