Police are looking for the driver of a car who fled the scene after crashing through a wall of a Palmerston house early yesterday.
The car crashed off the railway overbridge on State Highway 1 in Palmerston at 12.50am yesterday and plunged down a bank on to Horse
Range Rd, demolishing a power pole before crashing into the side of a small house in Ronaldsay St.
A police spokesman said that police were called to the incident but the driver had run off before they could be spoken to. Police were following a good line of inquiry, he said.
The Palmerston Volunteer Fire Brigade also attended.
Brigade Chief Fire Officer Gary Johnston said the car was on fire when emergency services arrived.
