Three teenage girls have been injured, one seriously, in a fiery crash in Lyttelton.
Emergency services were called to Sutton Quay just after 1.10 AM, a police spokesman told chrislynchmedia.com.
A nearby worker said three 17-year-old occupants had been driving through the tunnel in a Nissan Skyline at extremely high speeds.
“They skidded through the roundabout and crashed over the bank, ending upside down at the bottom. The car then burst into flames,” he said.
