After initially losing sight of the vehicle, the officers came across a crash at the intersection of Rockingham Road and Anketell Road, in Naval Base, involving the same blue Holden Commodore and another vehicle. The driver of the blue Holden Commodore ran into nearby bushland but was located shortly after by a police officer and a member of the public.
A 31 year old man was arrested and it will be alleged he failed a breath test, recording a reading more than three times the legal limit. He was issued an Immediate Disqualification Notice.
The driver of the other vehicle, a 25 year old man, was taken to Fiona Stanley Hospital after receiving a laceration to his head in the crash. His passenger, a 51 year old man, was taken to Rockingham General Hospital as a precaution.
A 31 year old man from Leda has been charged with Fail to Stop and DUI. He is due to appear in the Rockingham Magistrates Court on Tuesday 6 March 2018.
