The driver of a car that crashed through a fence in suburban Christchurch today fled, abandoning a baby in the back seat. CCTV footage from a nearby property captured the drama at the intersection of Medina Crescent and Mairehau Rd, Parklands, at 10am today. Two minutes later the CCTV footage shows another male going to the crashed car and taking the baby from the back seat. The car ploughed through this fence in the Christchurch suburb of Parklands on Thursday morning. "I was out at my car when I saw the silver car (Honda) and a blue Subaru behind it, and they were bloody racing out here," he said.
