Police are appealing for witnesses after a driver crashed into a steel barrier and collided with an oncoming vehicle while attempting to flee police in the Far North over the weekend.
The incident occurred after the driver of a dark blue Nissan Cefiro lost control of her vehicle on State Highway 10 in Kanigaroa shortly after 5.30pm on Saturday, Northland CIB Acting Detective Inspector Lloyd Schmid said.
The driver had failed to stop for police a short time earlier, near Awanui.
A woman has since been arrested and charged with failing to stop for police.
Two other occupants in the vehicle were seriously injured, while two others in the oncoming vehicle received minor injuries in the crash.
Police would like to speak to anyone who witnessed the incident or was at the scene as part of their investigation.
"We're aware that members of the public stopped at the scene to offer assistance to those injured and we would like to speak to them as part of our inquiries," Mr Schmid said.
Anyone with information has been advised to contact Kaitaia Police at (09) 408 6500.
