A motorist has careered off the road and smashed into a car port in the Napier suburb of Marewa this morning.
About 9.15am police were called after the male driver first knocked over a street light and then drove through the car port, with the front of the vehicle ending up resting against a house on Nuffield Av.
It's understood the motorist then fled on foot but was apprehended by police a short time later.
No injuries were reported.
