Liam Heterick has pleaded guilty to a number of charges including driving on drugs and police pursuit.

Liam Heterick reached speeds of up to 140km/h to avoid police while under the influence of ice before crashing his vehicle and fleeing into a house, suprising someone he had known for years.

A 26-year-old Trangie man who was high on ice sped up to 140km/h to avoid police before crashing his car into a street sign.

Liam Heterick pleaded guilty in Narromine Local Court today to use unregistered registrable class A motor vehicle on road, drive uninsured vehicle, drive under the influence of drugs and police pursuit not stop drive.

According to a statement of agreed facts tendered in court, Heterick was driving a green Mitsubishi Magna on Nymagee Street in Narromine on June 14 2021.

Police noticed the car and attempted to stop the vehicle for a random breath test, but when they activated their warning sirens, Heterick increased his speed and a pursuit was initiated.

Liam Heterick engaged in a police pursuit before crashing into a median strip sending a give way sign flying.

Heterick sped past several give way signs without stopping before turning left onto the Mitchell Highway.

He then sped up to 140km/h in a 50km/h residential zone and drove straight through a railway line in order to avoid police, court documents reveal.

Heterick continued to travel at speeds of up to 140km/h while heading towards Narromine township.

Police terminated the pursuit due to the excessive speed and dangerous driving.

Court documents revealed a short time later the vehicle spun out of control crashing into a median strip and a give way sign.

The sign was ripped out and flung across the road from the impact.

Council CCTV footage captured a semi-trailer on Dandaloo Street slamming its breaks on to avoid colliding with the Mitsubishi.

The offender left skid marks for approximately 90 metres before the intersection with witnesses saying he was lucky not to kill himself or anyone else.

Heterick exited the car, which had come to rest on the wrong side of the road, and ran into a home on Dandaloo Street.

The witness at the address had known the offender for over ten years and described the accused as panicked, breathing heavily and repeating the words “I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry”.

Heterick will be sentenced in May.

The offender removed his hat and jacket before exiting the home via the rear door and heading towards the alley.

Police dogs attempted to track the accused but lost his scent.

A short time later Heterick was located in the back seat of another car heading south on Dandaloo Street.

He was apprehended and placed under arrest, admitting to police he had not slept for seven days due to taking large quantities of ice.

Court documents state police described the offender’s demeanour to be sporadic, slurring his words and unable to speak sentences in sequence. They stated he was fighting and sweat was forming on his top lip.

Heterick was taken to Narromine Police station and charged.

Magistrate Stephen Olischlager adjourned the matter to May 2 for sentencing at Dubbo District Court.
