Stolen truck leaves trail of mayhem through North West Auckland
A stolen truck has left a trail of mayhem through northwest Auckland
12 August 2019
The vehicle swerved several times into oncoming vehicles as its driver led police on a chase last night.
Among the drivers hit was Ian Wishart, who says the truck came barrelling up behind him on Peak Rd - just outside Helensville.
He says the driver flashed his lights and honked, so he pulled to the side, but the truck took out his mirror and door on its way past.
Wishart saw numerous cars drive off the road to avoid the rampaging truck.
The police Eagle chopper followed the truck through Riverhead and just past Coatesville - where road spikes ended the bedlam.
A 24-year-old man has been charged with unlawfully taking a motor vehicle, assault, reckless driving and failure to stop.
