POLICE used road spikes to stop a milk tanker at the Police Road off-ramp of the Monash Freeway in Noble Park on Saturday morning after a bizarre chase across Gippsland.
They had earlier tried to stop the tanker, which was allegedly stolen from a Maffra transport yard about 4am, on the Princes Freeway at Nar Nar Goon.
Police said it was fitted with a tracking device.
A 20-year-old Maffra man was charged with theft of a motor vehicle, evading police, reckless conduct endangering life, theft of 22,000 litres of milk, failure to stop and other traffic offences. He was remanded in custody to appear at Melbourne Magistrates Court today.
A 60-year-old Traralgon man was in hospital with injuries and was to be interviewed by police.
