A 29-year-old tourist has been charged after the death of an elderly Queenstown woman in a crash in the resort yesterday.
Sergeant Simon Matheson said the man, who was arrested last night, would appear in the Queenstown District Court on Monday on a charge of careless driving causing death, and
two charges of careless driving causing injury.
The crash, which occurred on Frankton Rd near the intersection with Hensman Rd about 3.30pm, involved two cars and a motorcyclist.
Police say the arrested driver's car crossed the centre line, head-on into the second vehicle and motorcyclist.
Police says the victim was 84-year-old Noelene Margaret Tait, who died at the scene.
