A man was flung from his car and tried to flee on foot after a dramatic police pursuit across Sydney’s west ended in a multi-vehicle crash early Friday morning.

The 33-year-old, who was wanted on outstanding domestic violence-related warrants, suffered serious head injuries and is now fighting for life in hospital after being arrested near the crash site.

As police approached, the driver took off, sparking an hours-long chase across multiple suburbs.

Around 7am, the Mazda was seen again on Werriway St in South Littleton, where it allegedly rammed a police vehicle and drove directly at an officer. No injuries were reported.
