    Hawke's Bay Police are hunting the driver of a car who ploughed into a Flaxmere home last night


    Emergency services were called to Birkenhead Crescent about 9.30pm.

    The home's occupants weren't injured.

    Police are now searching for the driver and passenger who fled the scene.

    They're asking for anyone who may've seen a poorly painted blue Ford Falcon with no registration plates driving around the area before the crash.
