A man is facing 13 offences in Newcastle court tomorrow after a stolen car was involved in a high-speed crash on the M1 overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Emergency services were called to the Motorway at Cooranbong shortly before 11pm (Friday 29 April 2022), after a southbound Toyota RAV4 allegedly hit the rear of Mitsubishi Triton ute at high speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This forced the ute into trees on the median strip, trapping the driver, a 31-year-old man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Members of the public and officers from Lake Macquarie Police District released the driver, who was examined by NSW Ambulance paramedics; however, did not need further treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The driver of the SUV \u2013 which had been reported stolen from Warriewood earlier that day \u2013 allegedly left the scene and was unable to be found despite a search by a Police Dog Unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Southbound traffic on the Motorway was disrupted for more than two hours while the vehicles were recovered, with the stolen SUV towed for forensic examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A search for the driver was unsuccessful until about 7am today (Saturday 30 April 2022), when the driver of a Mazda2 reported she\u2019d been stopped down by a man standing on the roadway not far from crash scene. He then allegedly used a metal pole to smash her windscreen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 52-year-old female driver accelerated away before alerting police; she and her 17-year-old daughter were shaken but uninjured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Officers from Lake Macquarie Police District attended the scene and arrested a 31-year-old man nearby a short time later. The man was taken to Toronto Police Station where he was charged with 13 offences,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The domestic-violence-related charges relate to the alleged assault of a 30-year-old woman at Warriewood yesterday morning. She was taken to Northern Beaches Hospital for treatment and has since been released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The man, who is from Umina Beach, has been refused bail to appear in Newcastle Bail Court tomorrow (Sunday 1 May 2022).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
