An innocent driver has died and five others have been injured after another police pursuit ended in tragedy in Christchurch.

The motorist died after his car was hit by a fleeing Toyota at just after 4am Tuesday.

It brings the number of people who have died from police chases in the city to five this year alone.

Despite that, Police Minister Stuart Nash says there will be no review of pursuit policy.

Christchurch reporter Nicholas Pointon and cameraman Simon Rogers have the story.
