An internal investigation is underway after a police car pulled out and crashed into another vehicle in Christchurch.

It was chasing a stolen car which stopped for police on Blenheim Rd just before 6am on Tuesday.

When a police car attempted to pull out and pursue it, it crashed into another vehicle.

A spokesperson says no one was injured and the road has reopened after being closed for about an hour.

The fleeing driver still hasn't been found.

Between October 2016 and September 2017, seven deaths and 552 crashes were recorded out of around 3600 pursuits.
