A 14-year-old girl has been charged after crashing a car during a police chase in Sydney's west.

The teenager allegedly sped away from police on Luxford Road, Whalan, about 3am (AEDT) on October 11.

It sparked a chase at speeds of 120km/h before the girl mounted a median strip in Tregear and the car rolled over several times.

She was released from The Children's Hospital at Westmead on Wednesday after being treated for minor injuries.

The girl was charged with initiating the police pursuit, take and drive conveyance, driving in a manner dangerous to the public and being an unlicensed driver.
