Disqualified driver Kelvin Bainbridge, 19, was one of County Durham’s most wanted criminals when he was spotted behind the wheel in October 2019.
A police officer who was driving a car which fatally injured a teenager when the prolific offender got out of his moving car has told an inquest that carrying out such pursuits was “horrible”.
He died following a six-minute pursuit through Spennymoor when he tried to exit his car while it was still moving and suffered blunt head injury when he was struck by the front valance of a marked police BMW driven by Pc Paul Jackson.“It’s a horrible feeling in the pit of your stomach, all you want them to do is stop.Pc Jackson, who was a tactically trained driver and firearms officer, told coroner Crispin Oliver he had been involved in “hundreds” of pursuits during his police career.
Pc Jackson, who now trains new recruits, said he manoeuvred his marked police BMW alongside the Nissan Primera in the final seconds of the pursuit to block off an alleyway he believed Mr Bainbridge may use to get away on foot. The coroner asked the officer if he felt it was a “safe” decision to use his car to block the escape route.“ to block off an escape route, it was nothing more than that.”
