Driver ‘almost kills’ police officer after ramming car in high-speed chase on A19 - watch heart-stopping video

A banned driver ‘almost killed’ a police officer after ramming his car off the road during a high-speed chase on the A19 earlier this year. Nathan Ferguson, 24, was captured in the heart-stopping video slamming his tipper van into the squad vehicle causing it to spin off a dual carriageway.

A court heard Ferguson had jumped several red lights and drove the wrong way down the A19 between North Tyneside and County Durham during the morning pursuit. He also caused other motorists to take evasive action with his dangerous driving before shunting traffic cop Sergeant Dave Roberts onto a grass verge.
