Wrong Way Lorry Driver

555 Doncaster, UK - John Taylor, 30, of Riverside Traveller Park in Kirk House Green, Doncaster, was sentenced to 28 months in prison for dangerous driving, breaching a suspended sentence and assaulting police officers after pleading guilty at Sheffield Crown Court earlier this week. On 10 January at around 10.30am Taylor was driving a 7.5 ton lorry on Fishlake Nab when he refused to stop for officers. The 30-year-old proceeded to reverse into the officer's car at speed, several times, before driving off in the direction of the M18. Officers pursued Taylor, who drove into oncoming traffic on the motorway and performed several U-turns in the westbound carriageway. Investigating Officer DC William McClean said Taylor showed no thought for the people around him: "He endangered countless lives that day through his reckless and dangerous actions. He put responsible road users at risk not only whilst in the vehicle, but by dumping the lorry and then running through three lanes of traffic on a busy motorway." Taylor was found a short time later hiding in a caravan where officers arrested him.
