Woman arrested after #police pursuit – Goulburn

by NSW Police Force on Saturday, May 28, 2011 at 11:37pm

A woman has been arrested and is expected to be charged under Skye’s Law following a pursuit in the Southern Highlands this afternoon.

About 4.45pm, Mittagong Highway Patrol officers conducting speed checks on the Hume Highway at Berrima detected a green Mitsubishi travelling south at an alleged speed of 139km/h in a 110km/h zone.

When police caught up with the vehicle, it failed to stop and a pursuit was initiated over a distance of 60 km and reaching speeds of 160 km/h.

It will be alleged that at one stage, the pursuit entered an 80km/h work zone, with the offender driving through it at 135 km/h.

Police sought authorisation to use road spikes in an attempt to stop to vehicle. These were successfully deployed about 10 km north of Goulburn.

The sole occupant of the vehicle, a 36-year-old woman from Queensland, was arrested. She is currently being assessed in hospital, after which she is expected to be charged with police pursuit – not stop – drive dangerously (section 51B Crime Act Skye’s Law), exceed speed and drive speed dangerous.

Yes saw all the action on the way home, had two police cars come past me travelling up to Sydney doing well over 160kph, another 4 mins up the road they were set up on the other side of the road with the spikes ready to deploy sitting on the cop car bonnet. Would have gone another 3 mins up the road and could just see in between the trees in the middle of the road a car flash by with cop car and sirens going as well. Wanted to go back to watch all the action would have been a good show.

When I drive past they had the woman on the ground out of the car in one of the turn around areas. There were about 5 police cars parked there too.
