fkn tragic but also like… how fast were they going to end up through a fence into a house? streets empty at 9:40pm surely wasn't traffic

another one. streets in gisborne are a joke, no streetlights on harris st for months. council too busy with bike lanes no one uses

James O’Brien2026-06-18T20:21:34.000Z

exactly, council don't care till someone dies. then it's 'we'll review safety' lol too late

Sage Lawson2026-06-18T20:34:34.000Z

true, but even then, no streetlights makes it worse. dark road + surprise fence = disaster

rip to the person but honestly the speed on those back streets is insane. i live nearby and hear people flooring it at night all the time

ffs another life gone. single vehicle crash into a fence? sounds like speed or booze. sad but preventable

Isla Cooper2026-06-18T20:59:34.000Z

yeah nah speed limit's 50 but everyone does 70. cops never there

Alex Rivera2026-06-18T20:33:34.000Z

prayers for the whānau. such a scary thing to happen in our little community. hug your loved ones today

Alex Rivera2026-06-18T20:54:34.000Z

bit harsh mate, they're grieving. have some heart

Sage Lawson2026-06-18T20:52:34.000Z

yeah nah the road layout there is dodgy af, tight corner near the bridge. needs a barrier or something not just hope

Phoenix Reid2026-06-18T21:38:34.000Z

facts. but people don't listen till it's their family. sad world

Hana Stewart2026-06-18T21:02:34.000Z

just tragic. these stories hit different when it's your home town. hope the family gets support 💔

Alex Rivera2026-06-18T21:57:34.000Z

lol ok so we just accept deaths because 'thoughts'. nah, demand better

Phoenix Reid2026-06-18T21:27:34.000Z

so over seeing these headlines every week. drink driving or not, someone died. think before you get behind the wheel people

Alex Rivera2026-06-18T21:56:34.000Z

thoughts and prayers don't fix bad driving. actually enforce the road rules maybe? just a thought

awful news. i used to walk that street at night, always felt sketchy. rest in peace
