A 20-year-old driver sparked terror through Swindon during a high-speed police chase before being thrown behind bars. Tyler O’Keeffe of Burbage, Leicestershire, threw public safety out the window on 12 June when cops tried to stop his suspicious black Volkswagen Tiguan.
The car was untaxed, had pitch-black tinted windows, and sported a parking ticket. When officers signalled him to pull over on County Road just after 1pm, O’Keeffe did the opposite. He slammed the accelerator, performing a dangerous U-turn that forced officers to leap out of the way.
Mad Moments on Dual Carriageways and Roundabouts
What followed was a nail-biting sprint through Swindon’s town centre in wet weather. O’Keeffe sped the wrong way down Drakes Way dual carriageway, spun around Greenbridge roundabout, and tore down Dorcan Way, Covingham Drive, and Merlin Way.
