Two people are injured, one seriously, after a car fleeing police hit a power pole and barrelled into a parked car in central Auckland early today.
The chase, which ended in a spectacular crash on a main Remuera street taking out power to nearby homes, started on Auckland's Southern Motorway, about 4.20am.
A section of Marua Rd, Remuera, was closed between Ladies Mile and Michaels Ave. It reopened just before 7.30am.
Police say the car was spotted driving dangerously on the Southern Motorway near Tacoma St.
