A woman remains stable in hospital more than a week on from a crash into the Wairoa River that took the life of a Putaruru man.
A Bay of Plenty District Health Board spokesman said the 48-year-old female was in a stable condition in a Tauranga Hospital ward.
This condition
was unchanged since last Thursday.
Two people were inside the car when it veered off State Highway 29 on the Lower Kaimai into the river about 7.40pm on October 15.
Last week police named the man who died in the crash as 51-year-old Shane Michael King from Putaruru.
