A Mercedes driver with three passengers crashed in Northampton after police tried to pull him over.
Joshim Chowdhury, 19, lost control of the car in Wellingborough Road after a police chase of just 350 yards.
Rachel Law, prosecuting at Northampton Crown Court, said officers spotted the Mercedes in Billing Road at 2am on Sunday, July 8, and followed it before signalling for it to pull over. However, Chowdhury sped off before pulling over by the Abington Park Hotel and the occupants fled.
Chowdhury was arrested in the rear garden of a house near the County Ground after being tracked by police dog Guinness.
The teenager, of Margaret Street, The Mounts, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, driving without a licence or insurance and failing to stop after an accident. He was sentenced to a total of 10 months’ detention and banned from driving for two years.
