Hunt for car with smashed light after hit and run

Levin police are looking for a car with a smashed headlight after a hit and run yesterday.

The car was travelling east along Roosevelt St when it swerved to avoid hitting a parked truck and collided with an oncoming vehicle about 5.50pm, police said.

The light-coloured older model saloon was damaged on the right-hand side, including a smashed headlight, but did not stop.

The occupants of the other car, which sustained "considerable damage", were shaken but uninjured.

Anyone with information about the collision should contact Levin police.
