Two males have been killed when a car rolled and caught fire during a police chase in Sydney, while another man has died in a separate fiery crash on the New South Wales (NSW) mid-north coast.

NSW Police launched a critical incident investigation into a crash, which happened just before 12.30 a.m. on Tuesday at Strathfield, in the city’s inner west.
