BY IAN CROUCH

Police are looking for the driver involved in a high speed pursuit at Lake Macquarie last night.

Officers attempted to pull over a Hyundai Tuscan on Macquarie Road, Fassifern for a Random Breath Test just after 10.30pm, but the driver refused to comply and took off.

Police pursued the car for 3 minutes at speeds reaching 100 kilometres per hour in a 50 zone, but terminated the chase when the driver crossed to the wrong side of the road.
