    A banned driver continued to lead police in a high-speed chase even after his vehicle tyre burst, Bradford Crown Court heard on Wednesday.

    19-year-old Brodie Nolan, ignored a Give Way junction, narrowly avoided collisions and sped up to 73mph in his silver Honda Civic through areas of Bradford after being spotted by a police officer on Reevy Road.
