A 36-year-old man is in hospital following a two-vehicle crash on Cambridge Road at Cambridge about 2pm today (Wednesday).
The man was driving what was believed to be a stolen vehicle, a white Mitsubishi Express van, when he was observed by police.
Police attempted to intercept the vehicle, activating their lights.
The driver then allegedly evaded police, driving dangerously before crashing, rolling the van, and colliding with another vehicle.
The man, who was the sole occupant of the van, was taken to the Royal Hobart Hospital.
The female driver, and sole occupant of the second vehicle, was not physically injured in the crash.
Cambridge Road was closed for about 4.5 hours while the scene was examined. As at 6.35pm, the road was clear.
As is normal practice, a Professional Standards investigation will be conducted into the incident to determine the circumstances surrounding the crash.
Police are calling for witnesses of the crash or any person who observed a white Mitsubishi Express van being driven around the time of the crash to come forward.
Anyone with dash cam footage or information should contact Police on 131 444 or report anonymously to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestopperstas.com.au. Please quote OR778445.
