The car can be seen spinning mid-air before it crashes down on the other side of the road — clearing the roundabout — onto its bonnet, and begins somersaulting at least three times until it comes to a stop in a hedge.‌The crash came after a terrifying 142 mph police pursuit when a member of the public alerted officers to a motorist driving dangerously along Garrowby Hill, part of a road which connects York with Driffield, and other areas of East Yorkshire.‌Officers ran Parr's plates through a database which showed the BMW 3 Series was registered to an address in Leeds, nearly 40 miles away. Police then plotted his likely route back to Leeds along the A64 westbound, anticipating the vehicle would head towards the city.READ MORE: Driver's chilling first words after killing pedestrian heading to Take That concertREAD MORE: Speeding driver who killed young woman smirks outside court before sentencingContent cannot be displayed without consentTraffic Constable Nick Simpson, of North Yorkshire Constabulary, positioned himself at a busy interchange and minutes later, the BMW passed his location.
