A stolen car driven by a 13-year-old boy allegedly sped from police before rolling multiple times in suburban Sydney.
Police had tried to stop the hatchback in Fairfield after noticing it was damaged about 2.30am on Wednesday, only to watch it take off.
After a short pursuit in which officers activated lights and sirens, the car hit a gutter and overturned several times, police said.
Images of the wreckage show the car's rear end elevated on a concrete barrier.
The alleged driver, a 13-year-old boy, ran from the scene but was arrested nearby and was assisting investigators, police said.
The car was stolen from the northwestern suburb of Colebee 17km from the crash scene hours before the crash, Superintendent Michael Mclean said.
Two passengers who sprinted away from the car are yet to be found.
