This is the moment a man banned from driving ploughed a stolen car into a barrier following a high-speed police chase.
Neil Fox, from Hindley in Wigan, was spotted by officers driving at speeds of up to 77mph - twice the legal limit, in the Chorley and Adlington areas of Lancashire.
Police attempted to stop the black Volkswagen Golf, which was being driven dangerously by Fox on the evening of September 5.

But after failing to stop for officers, Fox drove through the streets of Adlington at high speeds. His car eventually ploughed into a barrier, Lancs Live reports.
Fox, 44, from Gidlow Street in Hindley was identified as the driver. He was arrested and charged with dangerous driving, driving whilst disqualified, driving without insurance, failing to provide a breath sample and failing to stop.
Chorley Police posted the dashcam footage of the pursuit on their Facebook page. It shows the car speeding ahead of the police vehicle, which was doing around 61mph.
The video then shows Fox entering a 30mph zone on Westhoughton Road, before travelling through Chorley Road where he came to a stop after hitting the sign.
Fox has now been jailed for 10 months following the chase. He was also sentenced to a further four months for driving whilst disqualified and has been banned from driving for two-and-a-half-years.
