From Morning Report, 7:13 am on 8 August 2019

The owner of the stolen van that was used in a fatal hit and run accident is in disbelief.

Flooring consultant Renee Elizabeth was working at a relative's property in New Brighton when she heard someone hop into her van.

Thinking it was her boss, she called out to him only to realise it was a stranger.

She told RNZ Christchurch reporter Nicholas Pointon what happened next.
