A driver fleeing from police crashed into a parked car when his vehicle spun out of control, Whangarei police say.
The car left the road and crashed into another car on Kamo Rd about 7.40am yesterday while it was being pursued by police. The car ended up on the grass in front of a house, almost opposite Sierra Ave.
Constable Gareth Worswick said police had seen the vehicle speeding on Western Hills Dr about 7.20am and tried to stop it.
The car turned left on to Kamo Rd and carried on through the intersection at Whau Valley and up Kamo Rd at speed.
Mr Worswick said the vehicle got to the top of Kamo Hill near Sierra Ave when the driver lost control.
