Tasmania Police thank motorists at the scene for their prompt action preventing the driver from continuing to be a further danger to himself and other road users.
The driver will appear in the Hobart Magistrates Court in September.
Anyone who witnessed the white Ford Falcon station wagon travelling between Orford and Runnymede this morning or has dashcam footage is asked to contact Sorell Police on 131444 and quote OR# 43-02082023.
