One of Hamilton's busiest streets has been closed after a person driving a stolen car flipped it, leaving it blocking the road.
Waikato police Senior Sergeant Tina Shaw said officers were looking for the car in the area when they got a report of a car flipping on Te Rapa Straight at 1.50pm today.
Officers arrived to find the car blocking the road and the driver having fled the scene.
However, he was found a short time later.
A portion of the road, around Bryant Rd, had since been closed to allow the vehicle to be removed from the scene.
