A car involved in a fatal crash at Te Puna matched descriptions of a vehicle that was being driven erratically just minutes before the collision, police say.
A 55-year-old Katikati man, named by police this morning as Christopher David Harvey, was killed when the car he was driving crossed double yellow lines on State Highway 2 and crashed into an oncoming Holden Commodore, about 80 metres east of Te Mete Rd yesterday.
He was the sole occupant.
Police say the man's car matched the description given to police about a vehicle that was being driven erratically in the Whakamarama area moments before the 12.15pm crash.
