A “frustrated” teenager drove his car at more than 140mph (225km/h) on his way to the gym before crashing into a taxi.

Max Dangerfield, now 20, was driving in the early hours of 25 January 2025 on the A48 near the Cross Hands roundabout in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, when he ploughed into the back of a taxi that was taking two women home after a night out.

The taxi driver suffered broken ribs, bleeds on the brain, a punctured lung and a lacerated liver in the crash.

Dangerfield, who was uninsured, was banned from driving for 50 months at Swansea Crown Court on 13 August, and must serve 28 months detention in a young offenders institution.

He must pass an extended test before he can get a licence.
