A 19-year-old has been charged with drink driving causing death in relation to a car crash that killed two people in Northland last night. Two people died in the crash and two others are now in a stable condition in Starship and Auckland Hospitals, police said. They said the driver of the "offending" vehicle continued south after the crash, where police later found the vehicle and spoke with the driver and a passenger. The 19-year-old man behind the wheel of the vehicle will appear in North Shore District Court on two charges of driving with excess breath alcohol causing death. The arrested man was driving southbound in a silver-coloured four-door sedan and police are appealing for witnesses who saw either the crash or the car.
