Five people in a car which crashed after fleeing police in Thornlie early this morning escaped without serious injuries.
Police tried to stop the vehicle on Spencer Road about 3.55am but after initially slowing, the driver raced off. It is understood police lost sight of the car but tried to follow it and eventually spotted the crash about five minutes later.
A police spokesman said it appeared the 25-year-old driver failed to negotiate the bend at the intersection of Royal Street and the Kenwick Link. The car had rolled and police helped the five out of the vehicle and extinguished a blaze sparked by leaking fuel.
The Rivervale driver, who was taken to hospital with minor injuries, will be charged by summons with reckless driving, failure to stop and no driver’s license. Inquiries are continuing.
