Man on first date admits dangerous driving after A1 police crash
A personal trainer has admitted dangerous driving after seven officers were injured in a crash involving five police vehicles and a car.
Mazyar Azarbonyad, of Sylvia Terrace in Stanley, County Durham, admitted a series of driving offences when he appeared at Newcastle Magistrates’ Court.
They included failing to stop after the crash on the A1 near the Newcastle and Gateshead border at about 02:30 BST on 9 April.
The court heard police were pursuing Iran-born Azarbonyad as the 20-year-old BMW driver was taking a woman home from their first date.
Azarbonyad also admitted driving without insurance and a licence.
