A personal trainer has admitted dangerous driving after seven officers were hurt in a massive crash on the A1 involving five police cars and a BMW.
Mazyar Azarbonyad, 20, appeared at Newcastle Magistrates’ Court this morning over the horror smash on the northbound A1 in the early hours of April 9.
He pleaded guilty to a series of driving offences, including driving without insurance and a licence several times after the horrific crash.
The Iran-born defendant, who came to the UK in around 2020, was behind the wheel of a powerful BMW which was being pursued by police along the A1 near the Gateshead and Newcastle border.
Magistrates were told that a woman in the car with Azarbonyad at the time was on her first date with him and he was taking her home.
He admitted dangerous driving and failing to stop on that night.
Having been granted bail pending a court appearance, he admitted continuing to drive on four further occasions, by driving a Hyundai i10 to work at a gym in Newcastle city centre, despite bail conditions telling him not to drive.
