A teenager is fighting for his life after a police chase that
ended with his car smashing into a house.
The 18-year-old driver was cut from the car just before 1am
this morning and rushed to Whangarei Hospital in a rescue
helicopter.
Two passengers suffered less serious injuries.
Police said the Toyota Altezza had rear-ended another car
stopped at a stop sign and a pursuit was launched when the
driver raced away from a patrol car that had tried to pull it
over.
Police are investigating.
