Police chase disqualified driver through suburbs

An 18-year-old male driver has been charged with dangerous driving, failing to stop for police, driving while disqualified, breaching a good behaviour order and breaching bail after he was caught following an 80-minute pursuit across multiple suburbs early on Tuesday morning.

Police spotted a silver Nissan SUV speeding and driving on the wrong side of the road at the intersection of Springvale Drive and Belconnen Way at about 1.40am.

Officers attempted to stop the vehicle on Shumack Street after recording the vehicle driving at 100km/h in a 60km/h zone. Police say the SUV failed to stop, and it was then pursued by multiple patrol vehicles with the Nissan repeatedly speeding, ignoring traffic signals and driving on the wrong side of the road.

The SUV was brought to a halt on Yamba Drive at about 3am when stop sticks deflated all four tyres and the Nissan collided with two police vehicles.
