An investigation's underway into a fatal police pursuit in Hawke's Bay
15 February 2019
A man died last night when the car he was driving crossed the centre line, and collided with an oncoming truck, on State Highway 5 at Eskdale.
Police had concerns for him and had been trying to find him for most of that day.
Acting Area Commander Inspector Jeanette Park says officers conduct a constant risk assessment during events like this, which are inherently fast-moving and unpredictable.
She says it'll be investigated thoroughly, both by police and by the Independent Police Conduct Authority.
