A critical incident investigation has been launched after a fatal crash in Sydney’s west overnight, NSW Police say.
About 10.10pm (Saturday 9 December 2017), police initiated a pursuit after a vehicle failed to stop at a random breath testing site on the Great Western Highway at Lapstone.
The pursuit was terminated before the vehicle left the road and crashed into a tree on the M4 at Leonay.
The driver, a 35-year-old man, was taken to Nepean Hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
A critical incident team will now investigate all circumstances surrounding the crash.
That investigation will be subject to independent review and all information will be provided to the Coroner.
Police are urging anyone with information in relation to this incident to call Crime Stoppers.
