Police search for fleeing driver


A police dog catches a scent at the scene of a crash at Oromahoe on Wednesday. The driver had earlier refused to stop on Puketona Rd and led police on a short chase down SH10 before getting a puncture, crashing on Porotu Rd, and fleeing on foot. The dog didn't get him but police know who he is, thanks to a phone and ID left in the car.
