Woman charged after allegedly failing to stop for police and causing collision

A 22-year-old woman will face court today after allegedly failing to stop for police and causing a collision in Kambah.

About 4pm yesterday (Wednesday, 30 April 2025), police were conducting traffic enforcement along Sulwood Drive when they detected a black Hyundai i30 travelling at 99km/h in an 80km/h zone.

Police directed the driver to stop but they refused and drove away.

A short time later, members of the public alerted police to a collision between the black Hyundai and a maroon Nissan X-Trail on Summerland Circuit.

The two female occupants of the Hyundai fled and the driver of the Nissan was treated at the scene before being transported to hospital.

After speaking with witnesses, police located the two women hiding in front yards of residences on Gallagher Street and Bellingham Crescent.

The 22-year-old driver – who was on bail for other offences – was arrested and charged with offences including failing to stop for police, not stop and give assistance, aggravated reckless driving, and negligent driving.
