Police chase driver in near-miss with train

A driver narrowly missed a train on a level crossing as he reached speeds of up to 115mph while trying to escape from police.

Isaiah Eghobamien, 20, was travelling at up to twice the legal limit as he sped through Fulbourn in Cambridgeshire on Wednesday April 25.

A police camera captured him swerving past crossing barriers in front of a passing train, before he later crashed.

Eghobamien was sentenced to spend a year in a young offenders institution after admitting dangerous driving. He was also disqualified from driving for two-and-a-half years.
