Bleeding teen denies being crash driver

Two teenagers at the scene of a Dunedin crash denied being the drivers of the vehicle, despite one having a cut on his head. Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond said a vehicle crashed into two parked cars on Marlow St yesterday afternoon. When police arrived they found two 17-year-old teens, who both denied being the driver of the vehicle. Meanwhile at the same time on Princes St, the driver of a Volkswagen crossed the centre line and ended up on the opposite side of the road with the car wedged between a tree and bus stop. Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond said the 32-year old driver told officers he had fallen asleep at the wheel.
