It follows days of public appeals by police for Wallis to come forward after she allegedly fled the scene of the crash in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Police will allege she was driving the allegedly stolen car that struck Senior Constable Masters as he was laying road spikes on the highway.

She is due to appear in Caboolture Magistrates Court today, charged with murder, arson and unlawful use of a motor vehicle.
