A man will appear in an Auckland courtroom tomorrow in relation to a car crash which killed two people in Kaipara last night.
The incident occurred on State Highway 1 in Topuni shortly before 8.50pm, police said.
Two others were injured in the crash, and they remain in a stable condition at Starship and Auckland Hospitals.
The 19-year-old then drove away from the scene in his vehicle, driving south towards Auckland.
The car was later located just north of Auckland, where police spoke with the driver and his passenger.
The driver will appear in the North Shore District Court tomorrow to face two charges of driving with excess breath alcohol causing death.
Further charges are possible, and police inquiries into the crash are ongoing, police said.
Police would like to hear from anyone who may have seen the man's vehicle, a silver four-door sedan, heading southbound around the time of the incident, particularly in the Maungaturoto and Kaiwaka areas.
Anyone with information has been urged to contact Whangarei Police on (09) 430 4500.
