1 min read

Wellington Police investigating a crash from April are appealing for information from the public to assist our enquiries. 

Police have received a report of an historic crash, involving a vehicle and a mobility scooter, at a pedestrian crossing at the intersection of Dixon and Taranaki Streets, on Saturday 25 April (ANZAC Day) just before midnight. 

The mobility scooter rider received some injuries and was tended to by members of the public, and the mobility scooter was damaged beyond repair.

Some members of the public spoke to the driver of the vehicle, but the driver eventually left the scene.

The crash was not reported to Police or ambulance services at the time, but a report was made the following month.

Police have made a number of enquiries, however at this stage have been unable to locate the vehicle involved, or the driver. 

Police would like to hear from anyone who may have witnessed the collision or had been present at the scene and may have more information, particularly about the vehicle involved or its driver. 

If you can help, please get in touch at 105.police.govt.nz, or call 105. Please use the reference number 260610/3111.
