Barina leads police on 130km chase
November 16, 2011 - 12:52PM
A man in a small car has led police on 130-kilometre chase in Victoria's north-east before slamming into a pole and fleeing the scene.
Police said they first saw the driver of the silver Holden Barina travelling south from Winton on the Hume Freeway just after midnight.
The vehicle may have been involved in a petrol theft in the border town of Wodonga earlier in the night, police say.
As officers attempted to intercept the vehicle, it took off and continued along the Hume Freeway where stop sticks - which are placed to deflate tyres - failed to stop the car.
Police continued to pursue the car, reaching speeds of 160km/h before stopping the chase at Clonbinane due to wet weather.
Just after 7am, police were called to a collision on Plenty Road near the Metropolitan Ring Road at Bundoora.
Police said a silver Barina struck a pole and the driver had fled the scene. A search of the area failed to find the man.
A police spokeswoman said they believe the car was not stolen.
Police are asking for any witnesses of the chase or accident to contact crime stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppers.com.au.

Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
