Stefon Mills chased after Richard Frost after the fatal collision on January 3 last year which caused the deaths of 19-year-old Thomas Fletcher and 22-year-old Thomas Northam.

Following the collision Mills is said to have called the emergency services and said to Frost 'you can't get away, you have to stop' as Frost fled the scene with a suitcase containing £72,000.

He also awarded £500 to Mills in recognition of his bravery.
