THIS is the moment the “worst driver ever seen” sent two cars flying amid a country road police chase.
It resulted in a horror crash that flipped a van after the chase reached speeds of over 100mph along 30pmh country roads.
The Volkswagen Arteon was pursued by police after it was caught driving at 56mph in a 30mph zone along Wiltshire country roads.
It was then seen overtaking two vehicles on solid white lines.
Despite police starting their sirens and illuminating their lights, the driver sped up, reaching more than 100mph and starting the police chase.
He executed various hazardous stunts, not only by exceeding the speed limit significantly, but also by zigzagging between cars and running a red light on the way to the A338.
He was also seen mounting a kerb to overtake a vehicle, before speeding away on the wrong side of the road.
The footage then shows the driver go the wrong way on a roundabout in his attempt to evade police.
He overtakes a vehicle on the brow of a hill and narrowly avoid a collision with an oncoming army truck.
The chase proceeded toward Marlborough and then continued onto Ludgershall Road, where the Volkswagen swerved onto a dirt path on Salisbury Plain.
They reach a long stretch of straight road, and whilst trying to overtake two more vehicles, the driver crashes into the rear of a white Citroen van.
The van crashed sideways into the roadside hedges before the Volkswagen crashed into an unmarked police car that was leading the pursuit.
Soon after, cops were able to catch up with the driver and arrest him.
Following the collision, armed officers can be seen running up to the driver’s seat, shouting, “Get out the car now!
“Show me your hands now!”
The driver is then retained by police on the road.
Marlon Henriques, 30, fled officers after he failed to stop when they caught him driving almost two times faster than the speed limit in Wiltshire.
The car Volkeswagon he was driving had been taken from a housemate, and a police pursuit was authorised when he was spotted overtaking two vehicles.
A stinger device was reportedly deployed by officers as the driver made his way back towards his home.
This caused puncturing of the two nearside tyres of the vehicle being driven.
The 30-year-old has now been sentenced to nearly two years in jail for dangerous driving, as it put “numerous lives in danger”.
Salisbury Crown Court heard Henriques failed to stop for police in Bulford on June 10.
Henriques has confessed to the aggravated unauthorized use of a vehicle, dangerous driving, driving while disqualified, and driving without insurance, resulting in a 22-month jail sentence.
He has been disqualified from driving for four years and 11 months.
Following sentencing, Wiltshire Police Roads Policing officer PC Webster said: “Henriques’ driving is some of the worst I have seen.
“He endangered numerous lives with his high-speed and reckless overtaking maneuvers, frequently driving through red lights and in the wrong direction on roundabouts.”
“Stopping him required outstanding collaboration between the Roads Policing Unit, neighborhood officers, and response teams, and I’m glad he has now been sentenced.”
“This incident took place during the middle of the day, and I want to thank all members of the public for their assistance and patience when dealing with this matter.”
