15-year-old Bailey Patmore of Cannons Creek died at the scene after the car he was travelling in crashed on State Highway One, south of the Tawa off-ramp.
A police dog handler spotted the small hatchback driving north on the highway at high speed shortly before 3 this morning.
The vehicle had been reported as stolen from Petone the night before.
The officer gave chase when the car failed to stop.
Five others - four teenagers and one 21-year-old, all of Porirua - were taken to Wellington Hospital with minor injuries.
