A DANGEROUS driver who wrecked havoc across Lower Earley and Woodley is being sought by police.

The incident happened around 6.45pm on Monday, November 1.

Thames Valley Police said that a motorist in a Black Honda FR V was seen driving erratically and at high speed along Beeston Way near to Asda, and then along the B3270 Lower Earley Way towards the Showcase Cinema roundabout.

The vehicle then went to the Woodley area along Loddon Bridge Road.

During his 15-minute ride, the driver jumped red lights and narrowly missed colliding with other lower speed traffic.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Lisa Maskell, based at Reading police station, said: “This incident of dangerous driving occurred in the early evening on Monday, and I am confident that many people will have witnessed this.
