A man drove into the path of oncoming traffic, sped away from police and then crashed his car on the morning he was due in court charged with child sexual offences.
Cambridgeshire Police officers spotted the 26-year-old man, from Wisbech, driving a green Jeep Cherokee on the A47 near the town at about 09:00 BST on 22 September.
He reached speeds of 64mph (103km/h) on a 50mph limit road (80km/h) and he swerved into the path of the police car to stop it overtaking, a spokesperson said.
The man was due to attend Cambridge Magistrates’ Court charged in relation to illicit images of children.
On Wednesday, the force said he was sentenced at Peterborough Crown Court for charges of dangerous driving and of distributing and possessing indecent images of children.
