Man jailed after police rammed in stolen car chase

A man who stole a car and rammed police vehicles off the road during a chase has been jailed.

Darrell Duddin took the keys of his employer's pick-up truck in October and drove it across four counties from Reading towards Lincolnshire at speeds in excess of 115mph (185km/h), Lincolnshire Police said.

He continued even after a stinger deflated one of his wheels, leaving sparks flying behind him, the force added.

The pursuit came to a halt when officers, supported by a police helicopter, boxed his vehicle in on the A46 near Swinderby in Lincolnshire.
