This was in a story about a girl racer who left the scene of an accident in which one guy died:
Earlier yesterday police brought a motorcycle chase that started in Rotorua to a conclusion in Cambridge shortly before 3pm.
Sergeant Paul Francis of Cambridge police said a motorcyclist, without a helmet, had been seen riding at an excessive speed in Rotorua.
"Staff pursued the bike for a short distance but then abandoned the chase because the speed was just too dangerous," Mr Francis said.
"He was picked up again at Tirau, again staff pursued him, but again the chase had to be abandoned because of the speed the man was going," he said.
The man was later seen in Cambridge. "Staff managed to box him at low speed on a grass verge but he then accelerated straight into a stationary police car," he said. The man suffered minor head injuries.
"The guy was an absolute idiot, we're all just very thankful things finished up with a safe, happy ending," he said
Lucky - but VERY stupid guy!
