"Although the vehicle was travelling at a speed within the prescribed limit at all times, the manner in which the vehicle was being driven was of concern to police and created concern for the safety of both the driver and other road users.''
He said police continued to try and get the woman's attention with repeated signals being given to the driver to stop.
"The driver appeared oblivious to the presence of the police,'' he said.
"Other police officers set up a check point ahead of the vehicle in an effort to gain the driver's attention.''
Mr Horne said the woman also ignored the officers who had set up the check point.
Officers then put road spikes on the state highway, which the woman drove over, bringing the car to a stop.
He said that by the time the vehicle had come to a stop, police had been trying to get the driver's attention for more than 25 minutes.
"When the elderly driver was approached by police officers, she was oblivious to the fact that police had been signalling to her to stop. She was also unaware that the reason that her vehicle had stopped was because her tyres had deflated as a result of running over road spikes,'' he said.
"The elderly female driver of the vehicle has not been charged, however, police are talking to the woman's family about the status of her driver's licence.'
