The driver of a car that sped through a crash scene where a person was struck by a vehicle ran a red light before smashing into another vehicle in Hamilton's CBD last night.
Police are now looking for the driver who was last seen running towards Pak'nSave on Mill Stafter avoiding being tracked down by a Police dog unit.
Police were called to Ulster St about 8pm last night after a vehicle reportedly struck a person during an altercation.
While police were making inquiries at the scene another vehicle sped past them, a police media spokesperson said.
A St John spokesperson said they received a call just before 8pm and two ambulances, a manager and a rapid response vehicle attended the crash and transported one patient in a minor condition and the other in a moderate condition to Waikato Hospital. The two other patients were unable to be located.
A witness posted on social media that he ran outside after hearing the crash from his motel room. There was debris scattered across the road.
"There was a lot of aggro at the scene and police went off chasing someone," he posted.
