A police officer has been charged following a crash involving a police vehicle last year.
About 10.15pm on Saturday 8 November 2025, officers attached to State Crime Command's Raptor Squad attempted to stop a white VW Golf in Dean Park for a random breath test and when it failed to stop, a pursuit was initiated.
The pursuit was terminated a short time later when officers lost sight of the vehicle.
As police conducted extensive patrols of the area, a marked police vehicle from the Nepean Police Area Command and a Holden sedan collided head-on on Debrincat Avenue, North St Marys.
The sedan driver – a 47-year-old man – was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics before he was taken to hospital in a serious but stable condition.
The driver of the police vehicle – a 25-year-old male constable – and the passenger – a 25-year-old female senior constable - were treated by paramedics before being taken to Nepean Hospital as a precaution.
A crime scene was established and a critical incident investigation team from Blue Mountains Police Area Command commenced inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Following inquiries, today (Tuesday 30 April 2026), a 25-year-old man was issued a Court Attendance Notice charged with aggravated dangerous driving occasioning grievous bodily harm, and negligent driving occasioning grievous bodily harm. His driver's licence was also suspended.
He is due to appear before Penrith Local Court on Thursday 11 June 2026.
The officer's employment status is under review.
