It’s been a horror night for car accidents in Northland this evening, with two dead in separate crashes.

One person died after a serious two-car crash in Ruakākā earlier this evening.

Emergency services responded to the crash, where a second person was moderately injured, about 30km south of Whangārei.

The crash on One Tree Point Rd happened about 5.40pm and the road is closed.
