Fire and Emergency Whanganui crews and St John attended the crash, with firefighters providing scene protection. St John staff were not needed.
It was the second crash within a week in Whanganui in which a driver fled the scene. The driver of a stolen vehicle which crashed into a tree in Polson St on June 13, killing 13-year-old Keanu Josephs-Ranginui, ran from the scene. Police have since said the driver is no longer "outstanding".
