A 19-year-old man suffered a broken neck in the smash, which occurred after police attempted to stop a car in Yatala about 11.15pm.
Police initially tried to intercept the Holden Commodore when they spotted it being driven erratically on Stanmore Road.
Officers followed the car into a small residential street, where it then evaded both a police car and an officer who stood on the roadway in a bid to stop the driver.
The police helicopter tracked the Commodore as it sped along Stanmore Road, where it ran a red light and narrowly avoided a collision with another car.
Polair then continued to film as the car crashed into a pole at high speed, flipped onto its roof and caught fire.
It then captured officers and passing motorists working to extricate the occupants from the wreckage.
The 19-year-old passenger was the most seriously injured of the car's three occupants.
The alleged driver, a man aged 20, and a 17-year-old female passenger suffered shock and bruising.
All three were taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating.
