Police are on the hunt for a driver who evaded police during a high-speed pursuit in Cessnock early this morning.
Just after 4am police noticed the Daihatsu Charade hatchback doing 100km/hr on Wollombi Road and also noticed the 25-year-old driver had a suspended license. He had previously held a red provisional license.
Police attempted to stop him but he sped up onto Allandale Road, Mountview Road and back onto Wollombi Road.
The driver ran a red light and police terminated the pursuit.
