A woman will appear in court later this year, after leading police on a high-speed chase in the Hunter over the long weekend.
Just before midnight on Sunday officers were patrolling the New England Highway at Singleton, when they clocked a Kia Sportage travelling at 135 kilometres an hour in a 60 zone.
After unsuccessfully attempting to pull the vehicle over, a pursuit was initiated and at Rix’s Creek, the driver lost control and left the roadway, crashing into trees.
The woman was arrested at the scene and subjected to a roadside breath test, where she allegedly blew a positive result.
The 42-year-old was taken to Singleton Police Station, before being taken to the Singleton Hospital for minor injuries.
Following a check-up she was charged with a number of offences and will appear in Singleton Local Court in June.
