A female driver was arrested last night following investigations into an incident earlier this month when a police officer was struck by a car at a driver testing station.
Just before 4pm on Monday 9 June (Kings birthday public holiday), a Ford Falcon sedan was stopped at a driver testing site on Curtis Road, Munno Para.
The female driver allegedly drove off at speed, hitting a police officer, and then colliding with another vehicle a short distance away.
The officer sustained a leg injury and has since returned to work.
Enquiries identified the Ford sedan was stolen from Freeling in May.
Following extensive investigations, police attended a northern suburbs address yesterday evening, Saturday 21 June, and allegedly found the woman hiding in a caravan in the rear yard.
The 33-year-old woman was arrested and charged with illegal use, driving disqualified, recklessly cause harm to another, leave the scene of a crash and numerous other traffic offences.
She was refused police bail and will appear in the Elizabeth Magistrates Court on Monday 23 June.
