A driver who fled the scene of a fatal crash in Auckland early this morning was undergoing hospital treatment before being interviewed by police.
Police said a 23-year-old man from Shamrock Park was killed when two cars collided head-on in Chapel Rd, Flat Bush, about 4.15am.
The driver of the other vehicle left the scene before police arrived.
Police said no one else was involved in the crash, which ended with one of the cars on its roof and extensive damage to both vehicles.
Witnesses told police the fleeing driver was picked up by another vehicle. He was found by police later today.
