Two Waikato police officers have taken a poignant photo after pulling over a dangerously overloaded car at the exact spot of a deadly crash.
The Huntly officers stopped a slow driver between Raglan and Hamilton yesterday, only to realise it was in "exactly the same spot" as a crash that
killed a local man, known as Rangi, last year.
"This vehicle was holding up traffic and the guys chucked on their lights to see why the car was driving so slow," police said.
"They then find that the car has a total of six occupants with a young fella laying down in the boot."
During the traffic stop the officers noticed the sadness of the scene, which has a memorial to Rangi on the roadside bank.
