A high speed chase led to a man hanging on for his safety until the local police came to his rescue.

Jordan Hatt, who was already banned from driving fled a high speed crash until he was rescued by the police. Hatt ran off after losing control of his vehicle in a police pursuit, spinning across the carriageway and destroying a stone wall.

Hatt, 27, of Rawson Street, Wyke & father of 3, was disqualified from driving three months earlier. Hatt was handed a jail sentence of 12 months at Bradford Crown Court yesterday and banned from driving for three and a half years.

He pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and driving while disqualified shortly after midnight on 30^th of October 2016.

The court heard, Hatt had dozens of previous convictions most notably motoring offences, some of which included a failure to provide a specimen of breath for analysis in April 2015.

Hatt was driving in excess of 70mph in a 30mph zone on Cleckheaton Road causing £10,000 worth of damages to a wall and electrical boxes.

The judge, Recorder Simon Batiste, said: "It was a highly dangerous piece of driving and could have led to the death or serious injury of other people."
