The driver alleged to be involved in a hit and run in Flaxmere has handed himself into police this morning.
Road Policing Sergeant Clint Adamson said the 27-year-old man presented himself at the Flaxmere station and admitted his role in the accident on Kingsley Rd, which left 5-year-old Kayzah-Shae Wairama critically injured.
Mr Adamson said the man would initially be charged with failing to stop and ascertain if there were injuries at a crash scene.
He said further investigations may lead to more charges against the local Flaxmere man.
Kayzah-Shae's grandmother Lovey Whintana Orlowski was delighted with the news that the driver had turned himself in.
