A 60-year-old Tauranga woman died after the car she was in plunged into the Waikato River near Cambridge.
Susan Donna Ramsay died in hospital a few days after a car carrying a trailer went off the road and into the river at the intersection of Shakespeare St and Tirau Rd just before 12.30pm on August 19.
Initial information received was that the woman had died at the scene.
However, after significant medical intervention, including about one hour of CPR, the woman regained a pulse.
She was taken to Waikato Hospital in a critical condition, but died a few days later.
