)A man has been arrested and detained on a warrant for attempted murder for a fire that seriously injured three people in Adelaide.
SA Police launched a manhunt after a man and two women were injured in a fire, which investigators believe was deliberately lit using an accelerant, at Woodville West yesterday.
Police say a 32-year-old man from Woodville West was spotted at a car wash in West Wyalong, in regional New South Wales, late on Wednesday evening.
He was taken to the Westmead Hospital in Sydney after hitting a post on the Newell Highway near Parkes in the following high-speed pursuit.
He remains under guard at the hospital on a warrant for attempted murder.
State police authorities say the man will be extradited back to South Australia in the coming days.
A 31-year-old man from Woodville West remains in the Royal Adelaide Hospital in a critical condition.
Two women aged 27 and 28 are also being treated for minor injuries.
Police say the people involved know each other and it was not a random attack.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
NSW Police said the crash had been declared a "critical incident" and a police investigation would also be subject to an independent review.
