Police seek information following hit and run, Paeroa
Police are seeking information following a hit and run incident on State Highway 2, Paeroa last weekend.
On Saturday 11 October police received a report that a vehicle had collided with the side of a campervan while attempting a dangerous overtake.
The incident occurred when the alleged driver of the vehicle was travelling south on State Highway 2, at around 12pm, and attempted to overtake multiple vehicles at one time, directly in the path of oncoming traffic in the northbound lane.
In order to avoid a head-on collision, the driver then swerved back toward the southbound lane, colliding with the side of the campervan.
The driver then carried on driving south without stopping.
Sergeant Scott Tyrrell says the outcome of this dangerous driving could have been catastrophic. “Not only has the driver of this vehicle not stopped to check if anyone was injured in the collision or to exchange details, they have also nearly caused what could have been a fatal head on crash."
“This type of driving in unacceptable under any circumstances and it is pure luck that no one was injured. We are aware of dashcam footage that is circulating online and throughout media outlets, I ask that anyone who has this footage to please share it with us,” he says.
Information can be provided by calling 105 and quoting file number 251012/3057.
