A teenager accused of ramming two police cars during a pursuit at Lake Macquarie is due to front court today.

Police say the 18-year-old was driving a stolen Nissan X-trail which hit a police car at Killingworth on Friday night before speeding away.

It's alleged the car then hit a police dog unit vehicle at the corner of Link Road and Transfield Avenue at Cameron Park.

The 18-year-old driver has been charged with 8 offences.

A second 18-year-old man was charged with being carried in a stolen car, while a 19-year-old female passenger was released pending further inquiries.
