Gauteng speedster wanted to evade police

A Johannesburg man faces a maximum fine of 24-thousand rands after fleeing from the police at speeds exceeding 200 kilometres per hour and jumping ten red lights in the process. Police said that the 23-year-old man from Tembisa on the East Rand was spotted jumping the first light in Bryanston. When police gave chase and ordered the driver of the vehicle to stop, the man accelerated and the chase was on. The police officer giving chase says he was doing 200 kilometres per hour but he could not keep up with the suspect who eventually had to stop in Midrand when traffic held him up. Asked why he was speeding the man said he wanted to get away from the police.
