As stated by Detective Sergeant Harry Hodgson, Te Awamutu CIB
Police are appealing for information following a fatal crash on State Highway 3, south of Te Kuiti last week.
About 11:30am on Friday 11 July, Police were called to a crash involving a vehicle that was struck by a boat and trailer unit that had detached from an oncoming vehicle.
Sadly, one person died as a result of the crash and investigations into the circumstances are ongoing.
Police would like to hear from anyone who witnessed the crash, or anyone who saw a southbound black SUV towing the boat prior to the crash.
We also need to hear from any witnesses who left the scene of the crash before emergency services arrived, or anyone who drove past the crash immediately after it occurred. This includes the driver of a white ute that was heading south, and white flat-deck ute with a large blue box on the rear, and a Nissan SUV, both heading north.
Police would also like to hear from anybody who has dashcam footage and was travelling in either direction on State Highway 3 between Otorohanga and Piopio between 11am and 11:30am.
