Police have confirmed that a person died following a crash in Hastings at the end of August.

A police spokesman said a person involved in the crash in Maraekakaho Rd on August 30 has died.

"The coroner has accepted jurisdiction and will investigate the cause and circumstances of the death," the spokesman said.

He said no further details, including the crash victim's gender and age, were able to be released.

A police statement made on the day of the crash said the incident involved two vehicles and was reported just after 8am.

A St John spokeswoman said on the day of the crash that two people in serious condition were transported to Hawke's Bay Hospital.

The confirmation on Monday was the second fatal crash confirmation within 24 hours in Hawke's Bay.

A person died in a single-vehicle crash in Whakaki, Wairoa, on Sunday afternoon.

Police were called to the scene at the intersection of SH2 and Te Pairu Rd about 4.15pm.

The Serious Crash Unit was called to the scene and was investigating.
