A man accused of striking two girls with his car in south Auckland last week has been refused bail.
The man, who was granted interim name and image suppression, had sought bail when he appeared in Manukau District Court today but was instead remanded in custody, APNZ reported.
Following the crash on Thursday last week, he was charged with causing bodily harm to the girls, aged eight and 11, while driving with excess breath alcohol, and of driving while disqualified.
The girls were taken to hospital following the crash but were in a stable condition a few days later.
The accused man will reappear in court on Friday.
