Two people have been charged with helping a man accused of driving a speeding high-performance car that crashed and killed two siblings in concealing his alleged crime.

Officers chased after and arrested a 22-year-old woman outside Liverpool Local Court after upgrading the charges against Johnson Kokozian, 20, over the horrific Friday-night smash in south-west Sydney.

The woman was at court to support Kokozian, who allegedly fled the scene after crashing a Mercedes-Benz AMG while travelling at nearly double the speed limit in a 50km/h zone.

The woman arrested at the court was charged with concealing a serious indictable offence and hindering an investigation.

A 21-year-old man who was arrested at his Liverpool home earlier on Wednesday has been hit with the same charges.

Both are expected to face court on Wednesday afternoon.

A prosecutor told the court a brief of evidence would be served before Kokozian's next appearance in November at Campbelltown.

Police have been looking for the other alleged occupants of the Mercedes following the smash after being told three young men fled the aftermath in a Volkswagen Golf.

A 61-year-old man is also being questioned after his arrest on Wednesday afternoon.
