A resident who heard a fatal collision on the Hawke's Bay Expressway says "my heart went out to the woman and her family''.
Two people were killed after a two-car crash in Napier on Friday.
A woman who lives nearby but did not want to be named was hanging herclothes out at 1.30pm on Friday when she heard a "heavy bang" from State Highway 2 and then the woman's cry.
"She cried out like when you have lost someone important and you are hurt," she said.
The "heavy bang" was what police later confirmed was a double fatal crash on the expressway between the Kennedy Rd on-ramp and intersection with Taradale Rd.
"It was very hard to hear the distress, my heart went out to the woman and her family," she told Hawke's Bay Today.
Police said they arrived at the scene of the crash at 1.35pm.
