Shortly after 9.30am on Sunday officers attached to Murrumbidgee Highway Patrol detected a white Ford Falcon sedan allegedly travelling above the speed limit along the Irrigation Way, between Murrami and Yenda.
Officers signalled for the driver to pull over and a pursuit was initiated when he failed to do so.
The pursuit was terminated almost immediately due to safety reasons.
