iPhone feature alerts Dunedin police to crashed drunk driver


The autonomous crash detection feature was introduced with the iPhone 14.

Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said when police communications rang the phone that the notification was from, they were abused by the male occupant who answered. At 10.50 on Tuesday night, police stopped a vehicle in Musselburgh Rise and spoke to the 30-year-old driver. Police recovered a meth pipe, a white crystal substance believed to be methamphetamine, point bags, and nearly $1500 cash.
