Terrifying second wished thug drives at 80mph on two wheels
This is the terrifying moment a wanted thug drove at 80mph on two wheels as he tried to evade police in a white Ford Transit van.
The heart-stopping dash cam footage shows the moment banned driver Aaron Drummond, 25, was spotted by officers.
Police chased him as he hurtled along busy roads on the outskirts of Darlington, in County Durham, at around 10.20am last Friday.
Footage shows Drummond weaving in and out of oncoming traffic before smashing into another car at 80mph.
The van tipped onto two wheels before coming to a halt behind the damaged vehicle.

Aaron Drummond crashed into a car and bollard whilst driving dangerously in a transit van
Drummond, who was wearing just shorts and socks, scrambled out of the smashed driver’s side window and across the bonnet of a police car.
As officers wrestled him to the ground, one told him: ‘You’re being arrested for failing to stop and dangerous driving.’
Drummond, who was lying face-down with his hands cuffed behind his back, replied: ‘I wasn’t failing to stop. I haven’t failed to stop.’
He admitted several offences including driving while disqualified, dangerous driving, and driving with no insurance.
Drummond, of Darlington, was remanded into custody and will be sentenced at Teesside Crown Court on July 8.

Durham Constabulary said Drummond was one of a number of ‘most wanted’ offenders in Darlington who were arrested in a crackdown last week.
Chief Inspector Dean Haythornthwaite said: ‘These are just some of the positive results achieved by our hardworking teams over the last seven days.
‘We will not tolerate any kind of criminality here in County Durham and Darlington, and neither will our communities.
‘I hope that this send a clear message that if you choose to commit a crime in our area, then you must be prepared to face the consequences.’
