Three women were injured in a crash this afternoon after their driver allegedly fled police in South Auckland.
Police tried to pull over a vehicle driving dangerously near the Papakura town centre at 12.15pm.
Counties Manukau South Area Commander Inspector Dave Glossop said the car failed to stop for police, who then chased it.
"But [the pursuit was] quickly abandoned due to the offending vehicle's reckless driving, he said.
"The vehicle has then continued on, without being pursued and crashed on Elliot St, Papakura a short time later."
