Tauranga Police are appealing for a woman driver involved in a hit and run accident outside Fraser Cove today to come forward.

An 11-year-old girl was hit by a car as she ran across the road on Fraser Street outside the main entrance to Fraser Cove.


Western Bay of Plenty road policing manager Senior Sergeant Ian Campion says the Tauranga Intermediate student then ran off towards the school.

He says she was not injured in the incident.

“The driver of a white sedan, which was travelling in a northerly direction failed to stop after the accident and took off towards Tauranga City.”

Ian says police would like to speak to the driver of the sedan involved in the collision and ask for her to come forward.

“We are also asking for any witnesses to the incident to come forward.

“People can contact the Constable Senior of Tauranga South strategic traffic unit on 578 3460.”

Seems to be a common occurrence i too get the TGA Girls kids walk straight out specially when you try and turn into a road and they do not look and walk out in front! Also rang the intermediate they were well informed.

Not surprising

Kids from the Intermediate frequently do this by either disobeying the lights or taking shortcuts. They don’t have the sense to realise that this is a very dangerous intersection. They must feel invincible. I have driven past this point daily for the past 15 years. Fortunately never hit anyone but been pretty close at times dodging the idiots. Ring the school if it happens to you - they usually take this stuff seriously. Similar situation outside Gate Pa School. Usually Girls College kids. Almost forgot – similar situation at Merivale shops except there are not lights!

Not Good

Wasn’t nice to see the young girl just run out in front of traffic that was moving! Will be speaking with police tomorrow!
