Canterbury Metro Area Commander Superintendent Lane Todd said a driver failed to stop for officers when signalled to on Cranford St about 9am, and fled the scene. An occupant of that vehicle received serious injuries and was taken to Christchurch Hospital. Police arrested the offending driver - a 28-year-old man - and seized a firearm found in his vehicle. The road was closed while Serious Crash Unit conducted a scene examination, and inquiries are ongoing.
