Child critical after car hits two people in Christchurch
Photo: RNZ / Richard Tindiller A woman accused of being behind the wheel of a vehicle that hit pedestrians at the weekend is facing two charges of driving dangerously causing injury. The incident happened on Saturday around 2.15pm. When police arrived at the scene on Fitzgerald Avenue, Christchurch, they found a child with critical injuries and an adult with serious injuries. Both remained in hospital in stable conditions, police said on Monday morning. The 49-year-old accused will appear in Christchurch District Court on Friday 30 May. A woman who was among the first to the scene said she helped a woman and a child who were seriously injured. She told RNZ she helped some men lift the car off a boy trapped underneath. A Christchurch city councillor said safety improvements were being looked at for the site. Central Ward councillor Jake McLellan said the council was looking at roading changes nearby. "I suspect there are design improvements that could be made… I imagine that there could be enhancements that we should at least look at on Hereford Street as well." Hereford Street intersects with Fitzgerald Avenue. Sign up for Ngā Pitopito Kōrero, a daily newsletter curated by our editors and delivered straight to your inbox every weekday.

(Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : The lorry driver charged with causing the deaths of nine Federal Reserve Unit personnel last Tuesday has been arrested again by the police, just 20 minutes after he finally posted bail today. Sinar Harian reported that the Bagan Datuk police's criminal investigation department rearrested Rudi Zulkarnain Mat Radi, 45, at the bail payment counter at about 12.20pm. He was reportedly held to assist in an investigation into a cow theft case which occurred in Hutan Melintang, Bagan Datuk, last month. Rudi's RM6,000 bail had been paid by his employer, allowing his short-lived release from the Hilir Perak police headquarters lock-up. He pleaded not guilty last Friday to a charge of driving dangerously and causing the deaths of the FRU personnel in a crash in Teluk Intan. The charge, under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, provides for a maximum jail term of 10 years, a fine of up to RM50,000, and disqualification from holding or obtaining a driving licence for no less than five years, upon conviction.
