Car Thief Smashes Through Level Crossing Moments Before Train
A car thief put the lives of hundreds of people at risk by smashing through a railway crossing moments before a train passed.
Terence Fowler, 20, stole a red Mercedes C180 from outside a home in March, Cambridgeshire, on the morning of June 20 last year.
The stolen car triggered an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) camera in Peterborough and police officers were alerted.
However, when they tried to pull him over he refused and a high speed pursuit ensued at speeds of more than 90 miles per hour.
During the pursuit, Fowler drove on the wrong side of the road, overtook vehicles on roundabouts and knocked off another vehicle's wing mirror.
Police eventually abandoned the pursuit because it was too dangerous.
And they could only watch as Fowler ploughed through a closed level crossing with a Cross Country train just seconds away.
Passengers reported feeling the carriages shudder as the train smashed into the barrier debris moments after Fowler's car had crashed through.
The vehicle was later found abandoned nearby and forensic tests discovered Fowler's blood on the smashed windscreen.
Traced using his DNA, he was caught after being arrested in Bournemouth for an assault.
He pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, aggravated vehicle taking, criminal damage, obstructing an engine or carriage using a railway and driving with no insurance.
He was then sentenced to three-and-a-half years at Peterborough Crown Court on 14 April 2011.
Detective Inspector Michael Branston said: "Fowler showed total disregard for other road users, pedestrians and rail passengers as he tried to evade being caught by police.
"His actions put many lives at risk and he was lucky not to have been killed himself.
"This case shows that no matt...

Suspect thief stamps on baby after stopped by police, Zhengzhou, Henan province, China - 24 May 2010
SUSPECT THIEF STAMPS ON BABY
A suspected thief in China has drawn widespread horror after stamping on a baby.
The incident occurred in Zhengzhou, Henan province when two women carrying babies were detained after being accused of stealing a cell phone.
High school student Xiao Zheng was walking over a flyover when she suddenly discovered that her cell phone was missing.
She comments: "I then looked around and found two women holding babies just past me. A vendor told me that the women stole my phone."
Xiao ran up to the women and demanded that they return her phone.
"They jumped on me out of blue and started to pull my hair, saying I framed them and accusing me of stealing their cell phone."
The two women continued to abuse Xiao until "they suddenly threw my phone onto the ground, and I called police immediately".
Police arrived shortly afterwards, quickly followed by some of Xiao's family members.
As police tried to calm the situation down one of Xiao's angry relatives approached one of the suspect women and pushed her.
Shockingly, in response the woman in question threw her baby, a girl, onto the ground and stamped on it while shouting in protest.
As the baby screamed, both women then sat down on the ground and refused to move.
Eventually officers managed to get them into the back of a police vehicle and they were taken to the local station.
Miraculously, the baby escaped uninjured from the incident.
In China some thieves disguise themselves as parents holding children in order to appear less suspicious.
Even if they are caught by police they can then use the baby as an excuse when pleading for leniency from officers.
As such, sometimes these 'prop' babies are n...
