Police investigating a crash on Fanshawe St in Auckland on September 9 - the opening night of the Rugby World Cup Tournament - that left a 12 year-old rugby fan seriously injured, are appealing for witnesses who were on the North Star bus to contact them.
The 897 bus was en route to North Harbour when it crashed into the rear of a car outside the BP Service Station on Fanshawe St. As a consequence, four pedestrians in the path of the car were injured, two of them seriously.
