Police say the driver crashed into the back of the stationery vehicle in the early hours of Friday morning after police tried to pull him over for travelling 55hm/h in a 40km/h zone.

The 43-year-old was arrested at Maroubra after police deployed road spikes, and has since been charged with two counts of police pursuit, one count of driving in a dangerous manner and one count of resisting arrest.

The Botany man was refused bail to appear at Parramatta Local Court on Friday.
