A school in the lower North Island says all its students are safe after a driver fleeing police ploughed through its grounds.
In a post on social media, Kapakapanui School in Waikanae said the vehicle “crashed through our front gates in an attempt to evade the police” on Friday.
“The car continued across the school field and turf and crashed through our rear fence then continued. All children were inside at the time and remained inside.”
Photographs uploaded by the school showed a broken fence and gate.
