Jail for erratic driver who crashed trying to evade police
Clues left behind at the scene led to his capture
A 24-year-old man has been jailed after a routine stop for no seat belt turned into a short pursuit in Gainsborough.
James Smith was driving a silver Subaru Impreza when he failed to stop for police on June 30 last year.
He was followed along Lea Road in Gainsborough, where he caused vehicles to take avoiding action. However, he also collided with two cars before turning into Foxby Hill.

On Foxby Hill, the car then collided with another vehicle before leaving the road to the nearside. Three men were seen to run from the vehicle.
