A North Canterbury man has barely slept since a car ploughed through his fence, killing the driver.
Barry Grieves was the first person on the scene of the West Eyreton crash, along Tram Rd, shortly after 11pm last Wednesday.
Thirty-three-year-old Malaykumar Patel - the car's sole occupant - was killed
in the crash.
Grieves told Newstalk ZB his wife shook him awake, saying: "There's a car through the fence."
