The crash happened shortly after the offender allegedly refused to stop for police.
ACT Policing officers were driving to a disturbance in Dunlop at about 1pm, when they put on their emergency lights on Archdall Street in Macgregor to signal the alleged offender to stop.
Police say they did not chase the car when its driver failed to stop and drove off recklessly.
Not long after, police were called to a collision at the intersection of Archdall Street and Mileham Street, Macgregor, where a vehicle had crashed into a house.
The car was allegedly the same one that drove off from police.
ACT Ambulance Service and ACT Fire and Rescue attended the crash but the male driver and female passenger did not require any further treatment.
Residents were at home at the time of the crash and were not injured. The house received minor damage.
The car's driver was arrested and will face the ACT Magistrates Court on Monday morning for furious/reckless/dangerous driving, failing to stop and property damage.
Police urge anyone who witnessed the incident to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website and quote reference number 6021427.
