Wiltshire Police are appealing for witnesses after an incident of dangerous driving took place on Churchill Way, Salisbury.
At approximately 5.45pm on Friday 20th August 2010, officers witnessed a black Nissan Skyline car being driven by a man in a dangerous manner. The officers followed the car, but due to heavy traffic were unable to stop the vehicle and it continued along Churchill Way towards St. Mark’s roundabout.
The next day officers arrested and charged Richard Hewitt, aged 29, from High Street, Porton, with dangerous driving, using a motor vehicle without insurance and driving whilst disqualified. He was remanded in custody and the car was seized.
PC Ian Pedliham, of the Neighbourhood Policing Team for Salisbury City Centre, said: “Fortunately no-one was hurt as a result of this dangerous behaviour, however given that it occurred at rush hour the outcome could have been very different.
I would like to take this opportunity to appeal to anyone who witnessed this incident and has not yet come forward to contact me.
We take all reports of dangerous driving seriously and look to take action against those who display no regard for other road users and endanger lives.”
Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to call PC Ian Pedliham at Salisbury Police Station on 0845 408 7000 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, where information may be left anonymously if preferred.
