A millionaire racehorse owner has promised to dedicate his life to stopping high-speed chases after his wife was seriously injured in a crash with a police car.

Bert Vieira's wife Gai, 58, is in a coma after her black Mercedes-Benz was hit by a highway patrol car during a chase in Cronulla, south of Sydney on September 5.

Mr Vieira said she had suffered extensive injuries as a result.

'My wife of 43 years is still in a coma. She has three busted ribs, a punctured lung, a damaged knee, ankle, elbows and shoulder and brain trauma,' he told reporters while fighting back tears.

'She never stood a chance. This should never have happened.

'How would you feel if your wife was hit because of idiots driving at high speed? This has got to stop. I will dedicate my life to stopping these pursuits.' 

Mrs Vieira took the impact of the crash while her three-year-old grandson who was sitting in the backseat escaped uninjured. 

The male senior constable driving the patrol car suffered facial injuries as a result of the collision.

Mr Vieira said Sydney police should stop chasing drivers for minor crimes, and reserve pursuits for serious matters.  

He claimed eyewitnesses told him the patrol car had no flashing lights or blaring sirens as it performed a U-turn to chase a driver using their mobile phone.

'I'm asking the Premier of NSW, I want the (police) minister, someone to take responsibility, to own up for what they have done, to authorise this kind of chase,' Mr Vieira said. 

'Other states have banned all this chasing.'

Mr Vieira called on Prime Minister Scott Morrison - a Cronulla resident and the local MP for the Cook electorate - to take action.

'Morrison, when he was in charge of Cook, now he's the PM, for God's sake wake up,' he said. 

Attorney-General Mark Speakman said the government has to get the balance right.

'Anyone who is injured or who loses someone, it is always an incredibly distressing situation, police though have to do their job,' he told reporters on Thursday.

'We've got to get the balance right between, on the one hand, keeping the safety of the community, avoiding injuries and deaths on occasion to people but making sure that criminals don't think they can get away as soon as a police car siren goes off.'

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
