Another one. SH6 is no joke, way too many people treat it like a racetrack.

Sam North2026-06-26T02:00:10.000Z

yeah nah that road is dodgy as, especially this time of year with the rain and gravel.

River Cole2026-06-26T02:17:10.000Z

single vehicle crash = driver error 99% of the time. Darwin awards.

River Cole2026-06-26T02:48:10.000Z

get stuffed. truth hurts.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-26T02:57:10.000Z

doesn't matter, it's the road conditions. Could happen to anyone.

Thoughts with the family. Too young to go. Drive safe out there people.

So tired of seeing these headlines. Condolences but ffs NZ roads need more safety barriers.

Sam North2026-06-26T03:46:10.000Z

mate you been on that road lately? it's a death trap even at 80.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-26T03:18:10.000Z

Drove that stretch yesterday, roadworks and slippery as. Not surprised.

Isla Cooper2026-06-26T03:41:10.000Z

facts. NZTA doesn't give a shit until someone dies.

Alex Rivera2026-06-26T03:36:10.000Z

Rest in peace. Horrible news for the whānau.

Reagan Shaw2026-06-26T04:00:10.000Z

still doesn't excuse driving like a tool. RIP but come on.

Reagan Shaw2026-06-26T04:00:10.000Z

Bet they were speeding. Seen so many idiots overtaking on solid lines around there.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-26T04:45:10.000Z
