A man who had his license disqualified has been jailed after his ‘erratic’ driving caused a collision with a car containing two young children.
Amir Hussain was driving dangerously at speeds of up to 60mph in Accrington, Lancashire, because he believed he was being chased by his partner after an argument.
The 34-year-old collided with another car containing a four-year-old boy and a 13-week-old girl, who were said to be left severely shaken.
There were two other passengers in Mr Hussain’s vehicle at the time of the incident.
He is believed to have told them to report the car as stolen before fleeing the scene.
Mr Hussain pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, failing to stop after the accident and driving while disqualified at Burnley Crown Court.
He has been sentenced to 12 months in jail and has been disqualified from driving for a further 18 months.
