This is the terrifying moment a police officer saved a man's life after a 'scary f***' 160mph chase.

Shocking police dashcam footage captured wanted criminal Patrick Connors, 45, hurtling down the M1 and M69 in a powerful BMW 5 Series.

Connors shot past cards on the busy motorways at a speed of 60mph, prompting one police officer to say in response: 'That was scary as ****.'

Officers had started following Connors on February 19 as he was wanted for failing to appear in court for fraud charges in Wrexham, north Wales, in 2024.

During the 20 minute pursuit, described by police as 'high risk', Connors ran a red light and sped along the hard shoulder of the motorway at 130mph.
