Family members, including father Troy Bainbridge (bald-headed) and mother Suzanne (black checked trousers) leave the inquest in Crook, County Durham, into the death of 19-year-old Kelvin who was hit by a police car that had been pursuing him.

Prolific offender Kelvin, who had been disqualified from driving from the age of 14, was wanted by the police for burglary when he was spotted driving his mother, his pregnant partner and two men in a Nissan Primera he had bought the day before.

He died from head injuries he suffered when the police car that had followed him for six minutes through Spennymoor, County Durham, hit him after he exited the moving car just before it crashed into a wall.

Mr Bainbridge’s mother Suzanne gave evidence at the hearing in Crook on Tuesday and recalled she got in the car with her son’s partner to go to hospital for a 20-week baby scan, and it was on the way back to Spennymoor that the police pursuit began.

The inquest heard how he had told his mother moments before that he feared he was going to jail.
