DASHCAM footage has been shared showing the moment a man from Gwynedd led police on a 100mph chase through Porthmadog.
Rowland Humphreys, 45, of Lombard Street, Dolgellau, was jailed for two years for dangerous driving and breaching a restraining order at Caernarfon Crown Court on Monday (April 8).
Humphreys, who had admitted his charges, reversed his white Peugeot van into a police vehicle before speeding off on the A487 on February 10.

During the chase, Humphreys overtook vehicles at high speed in his attempts to evade police, forcing drivers to swerve out of his way.
The footage also showed a police stinger device hanging from the back of his van, swinging wildly as he drove.
Humphreys is later seen pulling into a layby before driving away again.
He was also disqualified from driving for two years, and must pass an extended retest before being allowed back on the roads.
The restraining order he breached was also extended to now end on August 20, 2029.
