Geez, another one. Hope they sort out what happened, but knowing our roads, probably a shitty corner or fading paint.

terrible news. my thoughts are with the family tonight.

Bloody hell, been driving that road for years. One wrong move and you're in the drink.

mate, known a few close calls there. Sad day.

So a person dies and TVNZ just posts a quick blurb? Where's the real reporting? More worried about clicks I bet.

this is so tragic. we need more safety barriers near rivers... how many more times?

TVNZ2026-07-06T11:44:32.000Z

so we can't ask for better journalism? Righto boomer.

Safety barriers lol wouldn't help if you're doing 100 down there. Driver error pure n simple.
