Police used road spikes to take out both tyres on the van’s passenger side as it raced northbound on the motorway at Bombo about 4.30pm Monday.
Still it drove one, covering at least another five kilometres along Riverside Drive before the driver lost control on a bend and crashed into a wire fence on Swamp Road, Jamberoo, a short time ago.
The van first came to police attention at Sussex Inlet around 2.50pm, where the female driver was allegedly acting suspiciously.
The vehicle was next spotted on the Princes Highway, south of Nowra, with police starting a pursuit.
The pursuit was called off shortly after and the vehicle was spotted in and around Nowra.
The van was next seen by police in Berry, before officers from the Lake Illawarra command deployed the road spikes.
The woman remains in custody, awaiting charge.
