Chase ended by road spikes
A Kaiapoi builder admitted being the driver in a police chase through North Canterbury two weeks ago, which ended when road spikes were used.
Christopher Warren Corfield, 32, pleaded guilty to unlawfully getting into a car, driving recklessly, and failing to stop for the police while driving dangerously, on September 15.
Corfield drove through North Canterbury on the wrong side of the road around blind corners, up Williams Street, Kaiapoi, on the wrong side of the road, and through Tuahiwi, all at speeds up to 150km per hour.
The passengers in the car were throwing various items out of the window of the car as he drove, while being chased by police.
He went over the road spikes, and after he and the passengers got out of the car, it caught fire.
Judge Philip Connell remanded Corfield in custody for sentencing on November 29.
One of his co-offenders, Michelle Susan Wallace, 32, pleaded not guilty to charges of possession of a class C drug, possession of a pipe, and dishonestly getting into a car. She was remanded in custody for a case review hearing on November 5.
