Woman charged after allegedly driving into two police officers

A woman who allegedly drove her car into two police officers at a Seaford fast-food restaurant and was later arrested while hiding in a backyard has been charged with reckless conduct endangering life.

Police were called to a restaurant on Ballarto Road in Seaford around 2.40pm on Tuesday to perform a welfare check on a woman who was thought to be unwell.

Police allege that when they arrived at the venue, the 27-year-old Fairfield woman drove her vehicle into the officers, pinning a policeman against a wall and then running over the leg of a policewoman.

The woman then allegedly fled the scene in a silver Ford sedan.
