Aaron Chan, 21, of Manukau, was with his brother-in-law unloading goods from their delivery van when a car ploughed into him on West Coast Rd, Glen Eden, about 6.30pm on Monday.
He was thrown on to the bonnet of the car as it ran along the footpath, over the top of a small tree and into a brick wall. When it came to rest Mr Chan was lying across the bonnet with the upper part of his body through the windscreen. His arm was severed and most bones appeared to be badly broken.
The two arrested men - a 35-year-old from New Lynn and a 28-year-old from Whangaparaoa - are to appear in the Waitakere District Court today.

The question must be asked. When will the authorities in Aotearoa NZ put a definitive stop to the behaviour that is causing this angst and horror for innocent families?

1. No more high performance cars in our country;
2. No more making cars high performance in our country;
3. Huge punishment for those who cause this type of damage;
4. Boy racing should now be illegal and incurs severe punishment.

Time to do something useful Helen!

helen (pm) reckons that the police can't cope with the boy - racer problem. its the cell phones. all you have to do to confound the police is buy a cell phone and you have them at an immediate disadvantage. their japanese imports are so fast, they have cell phones and they use them. i can't believe how easy it is to get around them. it seemed obvious to me that there is a solution to the problem. no one under 25 is allowed to drive a car over a certain cc rating. say 1200cc's. they can still race as they most certainly will. it'll just be with less grunt. they must have 3rd party insurance, minimum. of course, then we have to be concerned about their rights. rights to kill and maim, to thumb their collective noses at the police. as usual, no one is concerned that they know nothing of the responsibilities that go with with their rights.
