Teenager Alex Tonga was enjoying a few drinks with his mates in the early hours of Sunday morning when a car kept "zooming up and down" the street in South Auckland where he lived.
"The driver was probably doing 120 or 140ks, I don't know, but I was thinking he was either drunk or crazy, aye," said the 16-year-old.
This morning, residents on Ferguson St in Mangere were awaken to the sound of a loud bang after a car crashed into a tree on Ferguson Street in Mangere.
A 16-year-old is in critical condition and nine-year-old has suffered serious injuries.
"We came out to take a look and saw that it was the same VR4 that was zooming up and down at around 2am," Tonga said.
