Footage showing the moment a car driven by a teenager crashed into a lorry at high speed while being pursued by police has been released.

Oliver Clark, 19, had sped along the A180 at up to 100mph after failing to stop for police in Cleethorpes in July.

The 19-year-old, of Weelsby Street, Grimsby, was in a coma for four days following the crash with the lorry.

At Grimsby Crown Court, he admitted dangerous driving and was jailed for 12 months, suspended for two years.

Humberside Police said Clark had failed to stop for officers in Cleethorpes on 4 July 2022 and had moved off at speed in the white Ford Fiesta.

PC Sean Hutchinson said: "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."
