00:00This video was captured in the UK in December last year, and this is the moment a police pursuit
00:05came to a shocking end. Police say the suspect driving the vehicle was first pursued after
00:10smashing into a parked car. That's when he took off and a car chase ensued. You can see the vehicle
00:15evading law enforcement at high speeds, even going the wrong way around a roundabout, with the pursuit
00:20reaching speeds upwards of 90 miles per hour. However, he eventually loses control and smashes
00:25into some traffic lights, leaving his vehicle smoking and stranded. At that point, the driver,
00:3028-year-old James Woodgate, fled from police on foot. He was eventually caught hiding in some
00:39undergrowth nearby when police arrested him. He was tested with a roadside breathalyzer, where he blew
00:44more than double the legal limit. Woodgate eventually pled guilty to dangerous driving, driving without a
00:49license, failing to provide a specimen for analysis, and driving without insurance. He will now serve
00:55a 15-month jail sentence for his crimes.
