Two men were rushed to hospital after a police chase on Auckland's North Shore ended with the car careening down a bank and crashing into a house. Both men had outstanding warrants for arrest and police said it was likely further charges would be laid. Police tried to stop the car on Dairy Flat Rd about 1.30am today because of how it was being driven. It barrelled down a bank and hit a house. The crash has closed a section of the State Highway 1, between The Avenue and Gills Rd, causing headaches for peak-hour drivers.
