Devetnaestogodišnji Oliver Clark iz Humbersidea u Velikoj Britaniji upravo je osuđen na godinu dana zatvora zbog divljačke vožnje i bježanja policiji.
Cijelu potjeru zabilježila je kamera iz policijskog vozila, a na snimci se vidi Clark koji u svojoj Ford Fiesti juri brzinom od 160 km/h te u jednom trenutku gubi kontrolu nad vozilom. Nakon što se zabio u kamion, na Clarka je naletio i policijski automobil.
Teenager handed suspended prison sentence for reckless driving A 19-year-old teenager, Oliver Clark from Weelsby Street in Grimsby, who recklessly drove his Ford Fiesta at speeds of over 100 MPH on the A180 in July of 2022 walked away from court with a suspended sentence last week. The investigating officer, PC Sean Hutchinson from the Humberside Police Serious Collision Unit said, “Highly trained officers were in pursuit of the teenager after he failed to stop and made off from officers in Cleethorpes”. “Due to the dangerous manner of Clark’s driving, it was not possible to immediately bring the pursuit to a safe resolution, as to do so could have risked endangering the lives of the officers engaged in the pursuit”. “Clark then drove at speeds in excess of 100MPH up the Barnetby Top slip road and collided with the rear of a 32-tonne lorry which was also heading up the slip road. The force of the impact was such that the lorry was pushed off the road, coming to rest in trees at the bottom of an embankment”. “Officer’s feared Clark’s car would set alight and risked their own lives to recover him from his car and provide first aid”. Clark was in a coma for four days following the collision and he continues to recover from his injuries. “Fortunately, the driver of the lorry escaped with minor injuries as did the roads policing officer whose car was hit as Clark’s car rebounded off the rear of the lorry.” Judge John Thackray KC handed Clark a 12-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, he also banned Clark from driving for two years and ordered him to take an extended retest before he gets his driving licence back. Speaking directly to Clark, Judge John Thackray KC said: “You should consider yourself extremely fortunate.” It was only “pure chance” that he or no one else was killed in the pursuit and the collision.

Nakon četiri dana provedena u komi, vozač je pušten na kućnu njegu, naravno uz prekršajnu prijavu.
Clark je na sudu priznao odgovornost zbog čega mu je kazna preinačena u dvije godine zatvora uvjetno, a sudac je presudu ovako obrazložio:
‘Ovo je čista slučajnost da nitko nije poginuo, igrom slučaja sve je završilo bez težih posljedica. Da je netko stradao vozač Fieste završio bi na dugogodišnjoj zatvorskoj kazni.‘
