Detective Superintendent Craig Morrow this afternoon urged Ms Wallis to hand herself into authorities.

“Of course Skye if you are watching this or listening to this there’s an opportunity for you to present to a local police station and hand yourself in,” he said.

Det Supt Morrow said police would allege Ms Wallis deliberately drove at Snr Const Masters.

“The actions of the vehicle and the course of the direction it took lead us to believe that it was a deliberate act,” he said.
