Moment drunk driver crashes into bus as he tries to escape police in west London
"When approached by two officers, one asks if he is okay and orders him to turn off his engine. But Milash came to, ignores her instruction and speeds away, chased along residential streets towards Westfield White City shopping centre. Body-worn footage captures the pursuit at around 3.50pm on January 7."
"He collides with a Mini Cooper and narrowly avoids hitting a cyclist and several pedestrians. Milash's attempt to escape lasts less than 60 seconds when due to heavy traffic, he foolishly tries to flee on a pavement full of shoppers. As Milash's white Toyota mounts the kerb, it smashes into the rear of a No207 bus opposite Shepherd's Bush Green on Uxbridge Road."
"At Wimbledon Magistrates' Court, Milash pleaded guilty to driving with 45 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35mcg. He further admitted driving without due care and attention, a force spokeswoman said. In total, Milash, of The Broadway, Birmingham was disqualified for 16 months, fined 253 and his arrest also triggered a recall."
