Crash And Court A Costly Night For Driver
It was pricey night for one dangerous driver who dented his pride and joy and landed himself in court.
Police in Papakura observed a vehicle travelling at speed on Clevedon Road just before 11pm.
Counties Manukau South Area Prevention Manager, Inspector Matt Hoyes, says officers signalled for the vehicle to stop.
“The driver has initially pulled over on Broadway, however, as officers began talking to him about his speed, he has accelerated away along Elliot Street.”
Inspector Hoyes says staff then located the vehicle crashed into a light pole on the corner of Elliot Street and observed the driver fleeing on foot.
“Officer have quickly pursued him and taken him into custody without further incident.
“Unfortunately this man has ended up with a costly repair bill and a trip to court, which could have been prevented if he had made different decisions.”
A 27-year-old man will appear in Papakura District Court today charged with dangerous driving, failing to remain stopped and driving with excess breath alcohol.
