A Northland teenager is facing a careless driving charge in Kaikohe District Court after she was apparently spooked by a cellphone.
Police said two cars collided head-on about 9pm on Tuesday on Old Bay Rd, between Kerikeri and Kaikohe, after a cellphone in the woman's jersey rang, allegedly causing her to cross the centre line and hit an oncoming car.
Nobody was injured in the crash.
