Police have named the Christchurch man killed in a police chase gone wrong.

64-year-old Kenneth McCaul died after his car was hit by another vehicle early Tuesday morning.

The car that struck him is believed to have had five teens inside - and was being actively chased by police.

Police say the driver who fled was a 17 year old - who will be released from hospital shortly.

The other four teens remain in hospital.

Police say they haven't made any arrests so far.

Police have also named the 68-year-old who died in a motorcycle crash over the weekend.

Warren Victor Galbraith died from injuries sustained in a crash in Rakaia on October 18.
