A motorcyclist has been hospitalised after crashing while fleeing Police on Taita Drive, in Lower Hutt last night.
Hutt Valley Area Commander, Inspector Wade Jennings, says local Police saw the motorcyclist driving in a dangerous manner around 10:30pm.
"Before Police signalled for the rider to stop, they allegedly accelerated, overtook another vehicle and failed to take a bend, crashing into a fence."
He says the motorcyclist sustained serious leg injuries and was transported to hospital.
"The Serious Crash Unit has examined the scene, and enquiries into the circumstances of the crash are ongoing."
