Attribute to South Taranaki Response Manager Senior Sergeant Andrew Russ

Police can confirm only two people were involved in this morning’s fatal crash at Eltham.

Shortly before 6am, two vehicles collided at the intersection of Boylan Road and Mountain Road.

The Disaster Victim Identification Unit finished their assessment late this afternoon and found the drivers were the only people in the vehicles. Our thoughts are with the victims’ families at this incredibly difficult time.

State Highway 3 at Eltham has since reopened.

An investigation by the Serious Crash Unit is ongoing, and we would like to thank the public for their support.
