Police appeal for information regarding Havelock North crash
Police appeal for information regarding Havelock North crash
Hawke's Bay Police are appealing to the public for information, following a crash on Te Aute Road, Havelock North, just before 7pm on Wednesday 10 August, where the offending driver failed to stop.
The offending vehicle, believed to be a silver
Toyota Altezza, collided with a parked car near Anderson
Park.
The impact shunted the parked car against another
parked car and both parked cars were badly damaged.
The silver car is also believed to have sustained
significant damage in the crash.
The front passenger
side is thought to be missing its front headlight casings
and possibly some of the front grill.
Following the crash, the silver car accelerated away
down Te Aute Road in a southerly direction.
Prior to the crash, the silver car had been involved in
a near-miss on the roundabout at Te Aute Road and Porter
Drive.
Another motorist on the roundabout had to brake
heavily to avoid colliding with the silver car after it sped
into the roundabout without giving way.
The silver car
then drove into Te Aute Road and pulled over.
As the
other motorist drove past, the driver of the silver car
pulled out and drove alongside the other motorist until the
crash occurred.
The silver car had mag wheels, a loud "big bore" exhaust, and was fitted with a rear spoiler.
"It was only good luck that nobody was badly hurt - or worse - in this incident," says Senior Constable Andy Clinton.
"Anyone with
information about the crash, or who may be able to identify
the driver or vehicle, can contact me on 06 831 0700."
"If you wish to remain anonymous, you can also call contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
