Another one. These roads are lethal after dark. Council won't do a thing till someone important crashes.

Bloody terrible. Thoughts with the whānau. Port Albert Rd is dodgy as, especially this time of year.

Lived here 30 years. Seen so many crashes on that stretch. Speed limit needs dropping.

mate, speed's the issue. People treat it like a racetrack.

Single vehicle crash… probably hit a tree or went into the ditch. Needs better barriers.

Bet it was a ute. Always the utes speeding round those corners.

Was heading home that way around 5:30, saw the diversions. Feels horrible knowing someone died right there while I was just annoyed about traffic.

true. That whole stretch from Port Albert to Wellsford is a death trap.

Drew Parker2026-07-05T11:41:51.000Z

I was thinking the same. Makes you grateful to get home safe.

Rest in peace. Hope the family gets support. So sad for our small community.

RIP but also how many more people need to die before they put proper lighting on that road?

Facts. They'll wait till a politician's cousin crashes before doing anything.
