Published: 09:24 EDT, 29 October 2026 | Updated: 09:43 EDT, 29 October 2026 A reckless driver who refused to stop for police in a 100mph pursuit was brought to a violent halt after flipping his car at a roundabout.Illegal migrant Hai Nguyen, 40, ignored repeated orders to stop his Audi A6 after being tailed by officers from Cheshire Constabulary on the M6.The officers had tried to stop the car after being alerted to the fact it was uninsured - sparking a dangerous high-speed pursuit.Dramatic video released by the force shows Nguyen ignore the screaming siren of the police car as he accelerated away.'He's aware of my presence, he's not reacting - we're going to have to declare this as a pursuit,' one of the officers is heard to say.After being given the go-ahead, the officers set off in pursuit as Nguyen dived off the motorway and switched to the M56 westbound, south-east of Liverpool.The dangerous driver reached speeds of 100mph as he moved onto the hard shoulder of the pitch-black carriageway, seemingly uncaring for the safety of others.He then stayed on the emergency lane for a mile before diving off of the motorway at the next junction in order to continue his escape. Hai Nguyen, 40, flipped his Audi A6 after crashing into a roundabout at high speed while trying to evade police Nguyen appeared to misjudge the speed of his car as he attempted to brake moments before impact Nguyen was sentenced to 12 months in prison - and could face being deported upon releaseBut Nguyen, having seemingly misjudged the corner, waits too long to brake before entering the roundabout at the top of the slip road - and careens into the crash barriers.One of the officers appears to exclaim a moment before the impact and can only watch as the Audi rolls onto its side before tipping onto its roof and sliding back into the middle of the road.The car eventually comes to a rest on all four wheels, scattering debris across the tarmac, as the pursuing officers radio in the crash.Astonishingly, Nguyen - who appeared to have been thrown out of his seat - tries to climb out of the window even as police rush in to end the chase. Nguyen, of no fixed address but from Liverpool, was charged with dangerous driving, driving without insurance, failing to stop for a police officer and possessing criminal property in relation to the cash over the July 20 incident.He admitted all four offences and was jailed for 12 months on Monday at Chester Crown Court. Nguyen has also been banned from the roads for two years and three months, and could face a Home Office deportation order due to his 12-month sentence.The court heard he 'lost control' of the vehicle in the moments before the crash, and was found to be carrying £1,010 in cash.Judge McGarva was told Nguyen could not speak English - which may have meant he did not understand police signs ordering him to follow them.But prosecutors said officers had repeatedly tried to get his attention using sirens, hand gestures and by shouting through an open window.Sentencing Nguyen, the judge said he wanted to 'send a message' to other drivers considering ignoring police instructions on the road, and that he hoped the punishment would 'deter others' from failing to stop.
