KEY POINTS:
Two more teenage girls have been involved in a serious car crash, flipping their car while speeding though a West Coast town.
The unlicensed 15-year-old driver and a 16-year-old passenger were lucky to escape serious injury after their crash at 8.20pm last night, police said.
They were taken to hospital.
The girls were driving through Runanga, eight kilometres northeast of Greymouth, when the driver lost control, rolling the car.
It came to rest on its roof in a garden.
Speed and driver inexperience caused the crash, Sergeant David Cross said.
They were in a 50km/h area, "but would have been going a lot faster than that, to put the car on its roof", he said.
The driver were referred to Youth Aid.
