Luton teen who led police on 165mph chase is jailed
A teenager from Luton who led police on a 60 mile chase reaching speeds of up to 165mph has been jailed.
Usman Kiani raced past police after jumping a road block on the M1 in the East Midlands.
He then led a chasing pack on a 60 mile chase through Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and into Leicestershire where he crashed into a wall.
Kiani and three passengers then attempted to escape, but were unsuccessful. Despite the high speed pursuit, remarkably no-one was injured.
Kiani pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and driving without insurance. He has no previous convictions.
The 19-year-old was sentenced to a year in a young offender's institution and banned from driving for five and a half years.
