A young man is due in court tomorrow on a string of motoring
charges after a police chase across Kent.
Danny Brookfield, of Pier Road, Gillingham, is set to
appear before Medway magistrates following a 10-mile
pursuit.
The 20-year-old has been charged with dangerous driving,
driving without insurance, failing to stop after an accident,
driving while disqualified and attempting to escape lawful
custody.
Kent Police said a second man remains in custody after officers
chased a Land Rover-type vehicle on Thursday morning.
The chase started on the Sheppey crossing and ended with a man
being surrounded by officers in Beechings Way, Twydall at around
6.20am.
During the pursuit a police car was hit, but no officers were
injured.
The two men in the suspects' vehicle were taken to hospital. One
suffered serious, but not life-threatening, injuries.
