A man found guilty of deliberately driving at a motorcycle and fleeing from the police has been jailed for eight years.
Andrew Saunders, aged 32, of no fixed abode was sentenced at Aylesbury Crown Court.
He was found guilty of GBH, dangerous driving, one count of assault and one count of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
Following a pursuit by Sussex Police, Saunders was arrested and charged with the offences.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Hollie Cromarty, of Milton Keynes CID, said: “Andrew Saunders will now face a significant period behind bars for his crimes, which have caused untold damage and misery.
“The rider and the passenger of the motorcycle sustained significant injuries, after Saunders deliberately drove at them.
“The passenger in particular suffered a serious broken ankle, which has required extensive surgeries and rehabilitation.
“A week after this incident, Saunders then drove dangerously to avoid being stopped by the police.
“Thankfully, our colleagues at Sussex Police were able to stop and arrest Saunders.”
