According to WA Police, as the Toyota travelled along Wanneroo Road, the driver lost control of the vehicle before veering over a traffic island and crashing into a stationary police vehicle causing substantial damage to both vehicles.

The police officers were outside the vehicle at the time and were not injured.

The driver, who received minor injuries, allegedly attempted to reverse the vehicle and was arrested by police.

Police say the man was the subject of a return to prison warrant, which was executed and he was returned to prison.
