Bloody hell, another one. Rest easy mate. 💔

Anyone know what caused the crash? Roads around Gisborne are shocking this time of year.

Tom Harris2026-06-21T07:19:40.000Z

fatigue or speed. Seen too many of these.

Ella Thompson2026-06-21T06:42:40.000Z

So sad for his whānau. 35 is way too young.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-21T06:49:40.000Z

ffs another van crash. When are they gonna sort out these roads?

Grace Patel2026-06-21T06:55:40.000Z

Thoughts and prayers won't bring him back. We need real action on road safety.

Nah but fr though, everyone blames the roads but people drive like idiots too.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-21T07:36:40.000Z

nah I agree. Roads are crap but common sense goes a long way.

Is Gisborne far from Auckland? We're planning a road trip next month.

can be true. Infrastructure and driver behavior both need work.
