A person who died after a crash in Matamata on the weekend was Martje Gezina Eastment, 79, of Putaruru.
Emergency Services were called to the two-vehicle crash on the corner of Pohlen Rd and Waharoa Rd East in Matamata on Saturday about 5.25pm.
A witness, who asked not to
be named, was driving home when her partner called her to tell her about the crash.
“[I was] only a minute in front of him so spun around,” said the woman, who is a nurse.
“The sole occupant [of one of the cars] was passed away by the time I got there and checked for a pulse,” she said.
