As stated by Sergeant Shane McNally, Taupo Serious Crash Unit:
Police need to urgently speak with a caller who made a driving complaint before a fatal crash near Mangakino last week.
The female caller was following a black Toyota RAV4 along State Highway 47 towards Turangi, at approximately 2.45pm on Monday 21 April.
She has made a report to Police about this vehicle cutting corners and crossing the centre line.
This RAV4 has shortly afterwards been involved in a fatal crash on Waipapa Road, north of Mangakino.
The driver of this vehicle has since pleaded guilty to careless driving causing death, and the 64-year-old man is due to be sentenced in the Auckland District Court on 6 May.
