Another day, another crash on that bridge. Maybe if they actually fixed the road instead of just talking about it, people wouldn't be getting hurt.

bridge has been a death trap for years. But nah, let's spend millions on a cycleway instead.

Classic NZTA, just close the road and hope we forget. 🙄

This is so sad. I was just there last week. Hope everyone pulls through 💔

Bloody tourists can't drive for shit. Seen so many near misses there.

Eva Anderson2026-06-27T02:15:24.000Z

it's heartbreaking. People just don't realise how dangerous that spot is.

Yeah sure, blame it on tourists when half the locals drive like they own the road. Had someone tailgate me doing 100 through there last week.

lol cope. Tourists cause way more accidents per capita. Facts.

Grace Patel2026-06-27T02:31:24.000Z

nah, get stuffed. Tourists bring money but they don't know how to handle our roads.

Isla Cooper2026-06-27T01:51:24.000Z

ffs. Heard the sirens from my place. Stay safe out there everyone

Phoenix Reid2026-06-27T02:04:24.000Z

Thoughts with the families. Hope the emergency services got there quick enough.

River Cole2026-06-27T02:50:24.000Z

I've lived here 30 years, locals are just as bad. Get your head outta the sand.

Maybe if people weren't so busy filming for their insta stories and actually paid attention to the road...
