The Serious Crash Unit completed an examination, during which time the road was closed.

Police said they extended their “deepest sympathies” to the whānau pani (bereaved family).

Brodie Stone covers crime and emergency for the Northern Advocate. She has spent most of her life in Whangārei and is passionate about delving into issues that matter to Northlanders and beyond.
