Clayton Rd resident Kerris Browne was coming out the end of her driveway when she saw three police cars with a roadblock at the intersection of Clayton, Pukehangi and Paradise Valley Rds, she said.
Within a minutes, a car came "flying down", slammed through the roadblock and allegedly crashed into a parked police car.
