A police chase ended in a car crash on State Highway 1 between Blenheim and Picton this afternoon.
The car flipped on to its roof near Spring Creek about 5.15pm. The male driver, who was the only person in the car, got out and made a run for it, but was caught by police, onlookers said.
Police at the scene declined to comment.
The man was driving a white Honda Civic sedan and it is understood he did not pull over for police near Blenheim.
Express staff saw the car going down Nelson St toward Grove Rd at high speed, then heading out of town toward Picton.
The driver did a U-turn before getting to Picton and headed back south, but the car came off the road before Spring Creek.
