Driver evades police in chase before hitting worker

A hit-and-run driver who struck and seriously hurt a road worker after a 130mph police chase tried to blame his ex-partner in a bungled cover-up before being caught out by a Ring doorbell.

Anthony Tregonning reported his modified car stolen hours after he hit Ieuan Parry in a coned-off lane of a dual carriageway in a police investigation filmed by BBC show The Crash Detectives.
