Police say it was lucky no pedestrians were injured during a fast and furious dispute which saw two motorists smash into each other, and drive on the footpath of one of Napier's busiest streets.
One person has been charged in relation to the incident on Thursday afternoon. The reckless chase started after a dispute between two people over the sale of a car in Napier about 4.20pm.
As a result, two cars were then driven "recklessly" through central Napier to Clive, about 10km away, and it appeared one vehicle was chasing the other.
At times the vehicles hit each other.
At one point vehicles were driven on to the footpath of Hastings St, just south of Farmers department store, and it was "very lucky nobody was hurt", a police spokeswoman said yesterday.
