The driver - a 23-year-old man - and sole occupant of the vehicle, fled on foot before being arrested by officers from Strike Force Raptor.

The driver of the other vehicle suffered minor injuries which were treated by NSW Ambulance Paramedics at the scene.

The man was taken to Fairfield Police Station.
