This is the moment two men in a stolen SUV ram a woman while fleeing from the cops, seriously injuring her and leading to them being jailed.

The shocking incident took place in Cheetham Hill in Manchester in April this year.

The Greater Manchester Police shared the footage on social media with the message: “Two men involved in a pursuit in north Manchester that saw a stolen car collide with an innocent woman, who was lucky to survive, have received jailed terms totalling over six years.”

The police said the “shocking collision that occurred on Cheetham Hill Road in April this year was previously shown at Manchester Crown Court”.

Ryan Deans, Thomas Keogh, and Ellis Barrett were sentenced on 10th December.

The police said: “The trio were brought to justice by detectives from GMP Salford’s dedicated taskforce tackling organised crime and concludes the latest investigation under Operation Naseby – which has seen 250 arrests made and 113 stolen vehicles seized since April 2020.”

According to the police, Deans, 33, was driving the vehicle, which officers from the Tactical Vehicle Intercept Unit on Operation Naseby spotted as a stolen Nissan X-TRAIL on Waterloo Road.

The police said: “The Xtrail – taken from an address in Longsight a month previously – sped off when asked to pull over and officers then gave pursuit.”

The police reported that during the course of the chase, the driver veered onto the wrong side of the road, reaching speeds of 50 miles per hour in a 30-mile-per-hour zone in addition to jumping red lights and driving “recklessly” towards oncoming traffic.

The police said: “After a two-minute pursuit into the north of Manchester, Deans lost control of the vehicle and smashed into a combination of a wall, bollards, parked vehicles, and a 36-year-old woman as she was walking on the pavement.”

The suspects ran from the scene, leaving the victim injured on the ground.

The police said she was “hospitalised for eight days with life-changing injuries, including a fractured spine, broken pelvis and a broken leg”.

The Greater Manchester Police added: “Despite attempting to run from police, Deans, Keogh, 29, and Barrett, 26, were arrested and taken to custody where they were later charged for a series of offences.

“Deans, of no fixed abode, pleaded guilty to causing serious injury by dangerous driving, handling stolen goods, disqualified driving, driving without insurance, failing to stop for police, and failing to stop at the scene of a collision; he was today ordered to serve four years and six months in prison.

“Keogh, of Beckett Street, Manchester, admitted theft without consent, being carried in a stolen motor vehicle and possession of a bladed article and was also sentenced today to spend one year and nine months in prison.

“Barrett, of Tarpoley Avenue, Manchester, was also sentenced today to a community order, curfew with a tag, and disqualified from driving after already pleading guilty to theft without consent and being carried in a stolen motor vehicle.”

Detective Sergeant Daniel Worthington said: “Anyone can see from the shocking footage of this collision that these three men are very lucky to be facing even more serious charges purely due to innocent woman miraculously not suffering more life-threatening injuries – and we continue to wish her well with her recovery.

“It’s vital as part of Operation Naseby that we use all available resources to take such criminals off the streets of Salford and the surrounding areas, and this includes utilising our Vehicle Interceptors to pursue and catch offenders who go about their unlawful activity by using stolen cars and having total disregard for others.”
