About 1pm, the vehicle was seen on Clyde St in Hamilton East, nearly 100km away.<\/p>\n
Painter said officers monitored the vehicle from a distance because of the manner of the driver\u2019s behaviour, before attempting to deploy road spikes.<\/p>\n
The driver allegedly evaded the spikes, drove on the wrong side of the road and manoeuvred dangerously around other vehicles.<\/p>\n
Police gave pursuit after the driver collided with another motorist\u2019s vehicle on Fairfield Rd. <\/p>\n
No one was injured.<\/p>\n
The driver later stopped on Carey St and allegedly entered a nearby address, where police established a cordon.<\/p>\n
After about an hour of negotiations, the driver came out and was arrested.<\/p>\n
The vehicle was impounded.<\/p>\n
A 40-year-old man is due to appear in Hamilton District Court tomorrow charged with dangerous driving, failing to stop for police, failing to stop or ascertain injury following a crash, and other related offences.<\/p>\n
Police said inquiries were continuing, but they were not seeking anyone else in relation to the incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"About 1pm, the vehicle was seen on Clyde St in Hamilton East, nearly 100km away.
