A disqualified driver who led police on a 130mph pursuit along the A1(M) before going the wrong way around a roundabout has been jailed.
Dramatic police footage shows officers pursuing Mohammed Muqadas Hussain through North Yorkshire in the early hours of Wednesday, September 23.
The 22-year-old, of Heaton Road, Huddersfield, reached speeds of more than 130mph as he attempted to evade officers.
At one stage, Hussain drove at 110mph through a 30mph zone before travelling the wrong way around a roundabout near Morrisons in Minskip.

The pursuit had begun at around 12.48am after Hussain initially failed to stop for Durham Police.
His vehicle crossed into North Yorkshire, where officers from North Yorkshire Police's Roads Policing Unit picked up the pursuit on the A1(M) at Junction 50, near Ripon.
Hussain continued south along the motorway at high speed before leaving the A1(M) and heading through Minskip.
Police said he drove dangerously in an attempt to escape officers, reaching more than 130mph during the pursuit.
After going the wrong way around the roundabout near Morrisons, Hussain continued out of Minskip along the A6055 towards Knaresborough Golf Club.
The pursuit eventually came to an end on Blackthorn Avenue, where the vehicle stopped.
Hussain abandoned the vehicle and attempted to flee on foot but was arrested by officers a short time later.
Just two days after the pursuit, he appeared at York Magistrates' Court.
Hussain pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, driving while disqualified and driving without insurance.
He was sentenced to 12 months in prison and disqualified from driving for a further 18 months.
He was also ordered to pay court costs.
North Yorkshire Police has now released footage showing some of the dangerous driving officers encountered during the pursuit.
