A man who fled the scene of a car crash last night has been arrested.

About 9.45pm on Sunday, police were called to Evan Street, Penrith following reports of a motor vehicle crash.

Officers attached to Nepean Police Area Command arrived at the scene to find a van had driven into a parked ute.

Two men were found trapped in the vehicle. Emergency services extracted the pair, who had both suffered leg injuries. They were transported to Nepean Hospital in a serious but stable condition.

A third man, the driver, had fled the scene on foot.

About 10.40pm last night, police attended a Glenmore Park residence and took a 19-year-old man into custody.

He was taken to Nepean Police Station and charged with ‘breach bail’.

He is expected to appear at Parramatta Local Court tomorrow.

Inquiries into the crash continue and further charges are likely.
