A brief pursuit has ended in a crash at New Lambton.
Patrolling police noticed a Mitsubishi Lancer being driven erratically on St James Road just after 1.00am on Thursday and tried to pull the car over, but the driver failed to stop.
They began to pursue the car, but less than a minute later the driver lost control and crashed into a parked car in Royal Street.
The driver fled and investigations are continuing.
