A driver who led police on a 135mph chase while high on drugs before crashing into a barrier has avoided an immediate prison sentence.
Ipswich Crown Court heard how police were positioned on an A14 slip road westbound at Newmarket on October 12, 2019, waiting for a Volkswagen Golf in connection with offences.
The Golf went past officers around 9.15pm, and the driver of the car, James Nagy, then accelerated to speeds around 100mph, despite wet weather making road conditions difficult, the court heard.
The car was pursued by officers and police were driving at speeds of 135mph in an attempt to keep up with the vehicle.
