A car fleeing police in Northland has crashed in a paddock after losing control.
Police say a car travelling through Whangarei on State Highway 1 was signalled to stop in the central suburb of Regent at 5.30am today.
The driver did not stop and instead sped south out of the city.
However, the pursuit was short-lived after the car crashed into a paddock on SH1 near the Otaika Rd turnoff.
Police say two people have been arrested.
