As cops followed the vehicle they saw items being “thrown out of the window,” the inquest heard.
Officers were told by the police control room that the vehicle may be linked with an aggravated burglary in the Harrow area in which thugs used samurai swords.
The Mégane sped through several more red lights before driving on to the A40 where it hit speeds of up to 89mph despite a temporary speed limit of 40mph.
Later in the chase, the Mégane went the wrong way on the busy A-road at Gypsy Corner in Acton.
Police, in three cars, we’re told to end the chase because it had become too dangerous.
But around one minute later, cops on the ground were told by officers in a helicopter that there had been a “big impact.”
They rushed to the scene to see the car in flames on the central reservation.
