Lee Charles Jenkins, 31, will spend three months behind bars, after he crashed a Holden commodore in a paddock near the Mitchell Highway at Narromine on November 30 last year.

According to court documents Jenkins had been drinking at the Narromine Hotel and a friend's house, over four hours, in the lead up to the offence.

About 10.30pm Jenkins was spotted by police heading toward the intersection of Terangion and Manildra Street and indicating early, before he was seen taking a corner wide and driving over a cement medium strip.

When police activated their sirens, Jenkins sped off, reaching 150km/h in a signposted 110km/h zone along the Mitchell Highway. Police lost sight of him.

According to police, Jenkins reached a speed of 213km/h before he began swerving onto the wrong side of the road.

Jenkins eventually lost control of the car and ended up travelling though a paddock crashing into trees and wire fences. The car landed on it's side about 30 metres in Webb's Siding Reserve with excessive damage.

Police found Jenkins unconscious next to the vehicle and rendered first aid, before he was airlifted by Toll helicopter to to Royal North Shore hospital in Sydney.

While on the way to hospital Jenkins required a blood transfusion due to the internal bleeding and the multiple injuries he sustained.

Analysis of his blood alcohol limit returned a reading of 0.274 - more than five times the legal limit.

In February this year Jenkins was released from hospital and attended Dubbo Police Station where he handed himself in.

Jenkins told officers he had "no recollection" of the police pursuit or the circumstances which resulted in him crashing the vehicle.

In May, Jenkins pleaded guilty to causing a police pursuit, high-range drink-driving and driving recklessly or furiously in a dangerous manner.

At sentencing in Dubbo Local Court on Wednesday, defence lawyer Jacklyn Dougan-Jones said her client's Sentencing Assessment Report was "very positive" and demonstrated he was someone who had a "significant traumatic childhood" which had a bearing on his adult life.

The court heard Jenkins' father had died by suicide when he was eight-years-old, and at the time of the offending in 2020 had received information his uncle had terminal brain cancer.

"He instructs me in the past he's had 'blow outs' when times are tough."

"He has people who speak highly of him, but clearly at times of struggle he turns to alcohol, and that has caused him trouble in the past."

As a result of the incident, the court heard Jenkins suffered from a number of injuries in including spinal, pelvic and rib fractures, limb weakness and issues to the temporal lobe contusions.

"He continues to be in pain from the injuries he received at the time of the incident," Ms Dougan-Jones said.

The court heard Jenkins began grief counselling six weeks ago, and continued to be engaged with that. However did have a record and had previously received two Intensive Corrections Orders - a jail term in the community - for disqualified driving and assault.

Magistrate Theresa Hamilton recognised Jenkins had taken steps to address his alcohol abuse which led to the incident, however due to the nature of offending, said anything other than fulltime custody was "inappropriate".

"I do appreciate the defendant has suffered substantial injury as a result of this," she said.

"In view of the continued reoffending I do not see how an Intensive Corrections Order would sufficiently protect the community."

Jenkins was convicted and sentenced to a 10-month term of imprisonment with a non-parole period of three months. He will be eligible for release on September 15, 2021.

He was also disqualified from holding a driver's licence for two years, and must install an interlock device for 24 months.
