      Police have named the two women killed in a crash in a North Canterbury township less than a week before Christmas.

      Emergency services responded to the serious two-vehicle crash on State Highway 1 at Greta Valley just before 7.15pm on December 19. Two people died in the crash and the Serious Crash Unit conducted a scene examination.

      The victims were Lu-Yao Lin from China and Siriyakorn Sovitayasakul from Thailand, police said today.

      “Both women were aged 28 and were in New Zealand on working holidays,” police said.
