A man is appearing in court this morning following a crash in central Wellington that landed two pedestrians in hospital - one with critical injuries.
The 23-year-old has been charged with driving with excess breath alcohol causing injury, failing to stop to ascertain injury following a crash, driving while suspended, and failing to stop for police.
He and a 26-year-old woman were arrested on Sunday after the serious crash on Cable St, near Te Papa, which happened in the early hours of that morning.
Police were called to Cable St about 1.15am after a report of a car hitting two pedestrians, and fleeing the scene.
