A police chase turned into the stuff of action movies on Sunday after a driver being pursued by police crashed into another vehicle at high speed.

Video circulated on social media showed the two cars burning as black smoke poured out of them, before a loud bang was heard coming from the blaze.
A fiery crash brought a police pursuit to an end on the Pacific Highway at Ulmarra on Sunday morning, and landed two men, aged 70 and 22, in hospital
A spokeswoman for NSW Police told Daily Mail Australia a police pursuit was initiated when the driver of a Nissan X Trail allegedly failed to stop for police about 10am on Sunday.
During the pursuit, the driver crossed into northbound lanes and hit a 4WD. Both vehicles caught alight and were consumed by an intense blaze.
‘The drivers were extricated and taken to Coffs Harbour hospital with non life threatening injuries,’ the NSW Police spokeswoman said.
‘Police are looking to circumstances surrounding the crash.’

Officers expect the driver of the X Trail will be facing charges as he was under pursuit at the time of the crash.
A spokesman from Ambulance NSW told Daily Mail Australia paramedics at the scene treated two male patients.
‘One is believed to be 22 years old. He was conscious and breathing, but had some abrasions, likely from a seatbelt, and a laceration to his leg,’ he said.
‘The other man was 70, with neck and chest pain. He was also conscious and breathing.’
