Serious crash closes Riverton Wallacetown Highway near Wallacetown

Another one. Roads in Southland are a joke after dark. Bet the council will spend weeks 'investigating' instead of fixing anything.

said serious injuries, so probably not just a fender bender. Hope they pull through.

Thoughts go out to everyone involved. Hope everyone's okay. Drive safe out there team 🙏

Riverton Wallacetown Highway's always dodgy this time of year, especially with the fog rolling in. People need to slow down.

Zoe King2026-07-21T08:03:39.000Z

cope, you're part of the problem if you think slow driving fixes everything.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-21T07:39:39.000Z

ffs another crash on that road. I drive that route every day for work, it's a death trap. Needs roundabouts or something.

Serious crash unit again? Wonder if it was a tourist who doesn't know how to drive on our roads.

Blake Turner2026-07-21T08:27:39.000Z

stuffed. Maybe if people actually paid attention instead of blaming tourists we'd have fewer crashes.

Sky Murphy2026-07-21T07:51:39.000Z

Hope everyone's alright. My mate's mum lives out that way, heard sirens ages ago. scary stuff.

bet it's some kid in a souped-up honda doing 140. seen it a million times.

Blake Turner2026-07-21T08:04:39.000Z

Road's still shut at 10pm. gonna be a long night for the locals trying to get home.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-21T08:19:39.000Z

point, but the road itself is still a death trap regardless of who's driving.

the tourist apologist. Some of us have to live here mate.
