A 13-year-old boy is being questioned after he allegedly drove a car that was chased by police before it rolled in suburban Sydney.

Police attempted to stop the hatchback about 2.30am on Wednesday, but the car took off on The Horsley Drive in Fairfield.

After travelling a short distance, it crashed and rolled, police said.

Images of the wreckage show the car’s rear end elevated on a concrete barrier.

The alleged driver, a 13-year-old boy, ran from the scene but was arrested nearby and is assisting investigators, police said.

Two passengers who sprinted away from the car are yet to be found.
