The driver killed in a collision on the Aoraki/Mt Cook Road on Saturday was Taewook Kim, police say.
The 26-year-old from the Republic of Korea was killed instantly when the vehicle he was driving on State Highway 80 did not give way at the intersection with State Highway 8, and pulled out directly into the path of another vehicle.
The passenger in the dead man's vehicle, Jeogsu Kim - who is no relation - was flown to Christchurch Hospital by the Westpac Rescue Helicopter.
He is still in a critical condition, police say.
