A woman was allegedly driving on the wrong side of the road when police say she struck a motorcycle with two passengers and fled the scene early on Monday morning.

The 22-year-old Sans Souci woman was driving a Peugeot hatchback on Forest Rd in Penshurst at 1.20am on Monday when she allegedly collided with a motorcycle being ridden by a 38-year-old man and a 26-year-old female pillion passenger.

The man and woman remain in St George Hospital in a stable condition after they were thrown from the bike and both suffered multiple fractures.

Police allege the Sans Souci woman left the scene without rendering assistance before Metropolitan Crash Investigation Unit officers attended a home on MacDonald St, Sans Souci and arrested her around midday.
