The vehicle failed to stop on Nepean Highway near Mount Eliza Way about 8.20pm.
A short pursuit was initiated.
At the time of the incident a civilian vehicle and a police car collided on Nepean Highway near Humphries Road.
Four occupants of the vehicle were taken to hospital and the police officer was not injured.
