A 25-year-old Huntingdale man will appear in court today after crashing the car he was driving during a high-speed chase through Perth’s southern suburbs.
At 11pm last night police tried to stop a Holden Commodore on Caulfield Street, Thornlie.
The driver accelerated and reached 140km/h while attempting to evade police.
When the driver reached Spencer Road and attemptedto turn onto Nicholson Road in Ferndale he lost control of his car, which rode a median strip and ploughed through a give-way sign before sliding across the intersection and cannoning into a taxi.
The taxi driver and passenger were unharmed.
The driver of the Commodore and his male passenger were taken into custody, and the 25-year-old was treated at Royal Perth Hospital for a dislocated ankle and several lower leg fractures.
