About 12.15am today (Monday 2 November 2026), police conducting crowd and traffic control at Popondetta Road, Emerton, observed a Ford Ranger crash into a metal fence.

He was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to Westmead Hospital in a stable condition under police guard.
The driver and passengers of the Territory, two women and a child, were not injured.
A crime scene was established and an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident commenced.
Following inquiries, the 41-year-old man was issued a Field Court Attendance Notice for police pursuit.
He is due to appear before Mt Druitt Local Court on Monday 18 January 2027.
