This is the moment a banned driver loses control and crashes into a brick wall in Lincolnshire while fleeing from the cops.

The incident was filmed in the market town of Gainsborough in the English county of Lincolnshire last August.

The 24-year-old driver has now been sentenced by Boston Magistrates court in Lincolnshire.

Lincolnshire Police shared the video on social media on 1st March with the message: “Our officers noticed Craig Patterson, 24, of Haldane Street, Gainsborough driving a black BMW just before 5.45am on Friday 27 August.

“A second man was in the passenger seat of the car. Patterson, who was already disqualified from driving, drove the car along Waterworks Street, Gainsborough and was requested to stop by officers travelling in a police car behind.

“He failed to react to the blue lights and sped off. A short while later, different officers found the black BMW crashed into a wall, at the junction of Lea Road and Foxby Hill, Gainsborough.

“The occupants had fled the scene, but were located not too far away. They were taken to hospital but were not seriously injured.”

The police said: “Following an investigation, Paterson (Surname spelled different to before) was forensically linked to the vehicle which identified him as the driver. He was later interviewed and summonsed to appear at Court.

“On 9 February 2022, he appeared at Boston Magistrates court and pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention, driving while disqualified, driving without insurance, failing to stop when requested to do so by police, failing to stop at the scene of a collision and fraudulently using false registration plates.”

The police said the defendant received a nine-week jail term suspended for 12 months, was banned from driving for 12 months, and needs to carry out 100 hours of community service.

He also has to pay GBP 4,245 in compensation for the wall he damaged.
