Police are seeking sightings of a vehicle involved in a fatal crash in Oropi last week.

One person died and another was critically injured in the collision between a silver Mazda Demio and a logging truck on State Highway 36, between Mangatoi Rd and the TECT Park.

The crash happened about 9am on November 4.

Police said while the vehicle was initially travelling toward Rotorua, it turned around and headed back toward Tauranga prior to the crash.

The driver of the Mazda died at the scene while a passenger in the same vehicle was taken to Waikato Hospital.
