A man found with meth in his car will face court today over an alleged police pursuit in Armidale yesterday.
Police were patrolling the town just before 3am, when they stopped a white ute without number plates on Queen Elizabeth Drive.
Officers approached the ute, but the 19-year-old driver sped away.
A pursuit began, but was terminated soon after.
The ute was later seen driving along Marsh Street, when the driver lost control of the vehicle, and crashed into a tree.
The 19-year-old, and a 22-year-old male passenger were taken to Armidale Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Both men have now been released from hospital.
The driver was arrested and charged with a string of offences, including driving while suspended.
He’ll appear in Armidale Local Court today.
