Driver and passengers leapt from moving car seconds before crash during police chase in Leeds

An unlicensed driver and his passengers jumped from a car moments before it crashed during a dangerous police pursuit.

Calvin Smith reached speeds of up to 60mph in a 30mph zone after being spotted driving in Belle Isle on May 7 this year.

Leeds Crown Court heard the pursuit ended when the 21-year-old leapt from the car and crashed into a parked vehicle.

Dave Mackay, prosecuting, said Smith forced his way through traffic on Belle Isle Road, narrowly avoiding a collision.
