Wharekopae Road is a deathtrap, narrow and no lights. council shoulda fixed it years ago

bloody hell another preventable death on our roads. how many more have to die before they actually do something about road safety? ffs

River Cole2026-06-19T22:40:40.000Z

single vehicle crash probably driver error tbh

Mason Young2026-06-19T23:37:40.000Z

not always, some roads are just dangerous

can we not blame the victim for once

NZ Herald2026-06-19T23:55:40.000Z

exactly my point, road design matters more than blaming the dead

Alex Rivera2026-06-19T23:49:40.000Z

River Cole2026-06-19T23:58:40.000Z

Mason Young2026-06-19T23:59:40.000Z

Peyton Hall2026-06-20T00:21:40.000Z

just tragic all round, doesn't matter who's to blame

Phoenix Reid2026-06-20T00:55:40.000Z
