Audi driver leads police on 145mph chase through Yorkshire, moments…

A driver led police on a shocking 145mph chase on some of Yorkshire’s busiest roads, just moments after being disqualified from driving. Footage shows Jason Ryder taking extraordinary risks, including weaving dangerously around a HGV on a sliproad and speeding down the hard shoulder of a motorway. The pursuit ended when police used a stinger to deflate Ryder’s tyres. Ryder, 45, had just been sentenced in court for drug driving and had been disqualified from driving for 12 months. He then left the court building, got into a black Audi A3 and led officers on a 17-minute chase.

He forced other road users to take evasive action to avoid a collision with him. Yesterday, Ryder, of Bishop Auckland, Co Durham, was sentenced at York Crown Court to 10 months in jail. He pleaded guilty to driving while disqualified, dangerous driving and failing to stop. Jason Ryder has been jailed. Traffic Sergeant Paul Cording, of North Yorkshire Police, said: “It is extremely fortunate that no-one was injured as a result of Ryder’s actions. Not only did he put other road users at huge risk due to the dangerous manner of his driving, he also showed a complete disregard for the judicial system.” Read next: All the roadworks taking place in and around Hull this week – and those coming up Pictures show eight-hour operation to move 30-tonne whale from beach Yorkshire Puffin Festival will bring tours, crafts and more to the east coast as sculptures go on sale Emotional ceremony to honour East Yorkshire men who battled starvation and sharks in 50-day ordeal Get breaking news by email by signing up to our newsletters Video LoadingVideo UnavailableClick to playTap to playThe video will auto-play soon8CancelPlay now
