Police are asking for witnesses to come forward after a dangerous driver was arrested on the Waikato Expressway last night.
At approximately 6pm yesterday (September 21), police began receiving reports of a black Subaru Legacy being driven at high speed near Huntly, allegedly weaving across lanes, braking unpredictably and swerving towards other vehicles, forcing them to take evasive action.
The vehicle was pulled over in Taupiri and the 27-year-old driver has been charged with dangerous driving and refusing a compulsory impairment test.
Senior Constable Chris Polglase says the public’s quick action reporting may have prevented a tragic outcome.
“We are grateful to those people who did the right thing and stopped their vehicles to make a call to us, so we were able to quickly take action,” he says. “However, we still want to hear from anyone who might have witnessed this vehicle being driven on the Waikato Expressway or who might have dashcam footage.
“If you have information to share, please get in touch through our 105 service, quoting reference number 260921/0133.”
