A female passenger in the car was injured.

Riverina District Police Inspector Peter McLay said the vehicle collided with a gutter in Erin Street, Turvey Park at about 1.40am after a short pursuit.

“That 28-year-old male was subsequently placed under arrest after he attempted to flee the scene,” Inspector McLay said.

“He has been charged with a number of offences including possession of a prohibited drug, police pursuit not stop, unlicensed driving and a number of other offence.

“He will appear in court in Wagga on the 25^th of February.”

The man will also face a trespass charge after allegedly entering a house following the crash.

Inspector McLay said there was a female passenger in the car.

“She was taken to hospital for treatment for injuries to her arm,” he said.

Police originally encountered the vehicle when they attempted an intercept for a random breath test earlier in the morning on Dobney Avenue.

“The vehicle failed to stop and was engaged; that pursuit lasted for several minutes before the vehicle lost control,” Inspector McLay said.

Inspector McLay was unable to provide the vehicle speeds recorded by police during the pursuit.
