Inspector Freda Grace, Road Policing Manager for Waikato District, says this crash is yet another reminder to drive safely:
¡°This means driving within the speed limits and to the conditions.
¡°Drivers must be fit for the road, which means being well-rested and focussed.
¡°Too often, a moment of fatigue or distraction has tragic consequences.
¡°While the investigation into the cause of the crash continues, our thoughts are with the family and friends of all those involved.¡±
