Following the collision, the court heard Pike stopped at the scene to provide aid to Johnson while his colleague, PC Mitchell Davis, pursued Griffin on foot and arrested him in a nearby car park.
Pike stayed with Johnson, who had been driving a Honda Jazz, until he was later relieved.
“PC Pike went to provide assistance to the occupant of the Honda Jazz, until he was relieved by colleagues and other emergency workers,” the prosecutor said.
“There is no suggestion that he did anything other than act bravely, professionally and selflessly, and entirely in accordance with his duties as a police officer, in what must have been absolutely dreadful moments.”
The court also heard how during the pursuit a police check was carried out on Griffin’s Volkswagen and that it had insurance, tax and no reports.
The trial continues.
