Original caption

A man who drove his electric Jaguar at high speeds on motorways and claimed it would not brake in a “frighteningly stupid” attempt to avoid paying his car finance has been jailed for four years and three months. Nathan Owen, 33, collided with a police car 31 times as officers attempted to stop him after he phoned emergency services to tell them his vehicle was accelerating and not in his control, Liverpool Crown Court heard on Monday. He drove at speeds of up to 86mph on the M58, M57 and M62 in Merseyside for about 35 minutes, over a distance of about 38 miles, during the incident on March 6 2024. The judge said police officers placed themselves in danger because they believed they were dealing with a genuine emergency. Addressing Owen, he added: “You, meanwhile, sought to profit from a lie.”
