Police are investigating a dangerous driving incident at Bridport this morning during which a police officer was forced to take evasive action to avoid a collision.
Just before 9am, a 2008 model Toyota Yarris sedan was travelling north towards Bridport on Bridport Road, when the vehicle crossed a double white dividing line on a sweeping left-hand corner.
As the vehicle overtook a semi-trailer and multiple other vehicles, a marked police vehicle was travelling in the opposite direction and had to take extreme evasive action to avoid a head-on collision with the vehicle.
The Toyota Yarris then continued towards Bridport at high speeds.
Police attempted to intercept the vehicle before the driver evaded officers and continued to travel in a dangerous manner towards Pipers River on Bridport Road.
Anyone with information about this incident or who has dash cam footage of a Toyota Yarris sedan travelling on Bridport Road at this time is urged to contact police on 131 444 or Crime Stoppers anonymously on 1800 333 000 or at crimestopperstas.com.au and quote Offence Report 763097.
