Was this you?
Police need to urgently speak with a caller who made a driving complaint before a fatal crash near Mangakino last week.
The female caller was following a black Toyota RAV4 along State Highway 47 towards Turangi, at approximately 2.45pm on Monday 21 April.
She has made a report to Police about this vehicle cutting corners and crossing the centre line.
This RAV4 has shortly afterwards been involved in a fatal crash on Waipapa Road, north of Mangakino.
The driver of this vehicle has since pleaded guilty to careless driving causing death, and the 64-year-old man is due to be sentenced in the Auckland District Court on 6 May.
Police would like to speak further to the female who made the driving complaint to get more information, as their phone number appears to be a “roaming number” which does not connect when called back.
It is believed the female and another male in the car were travelling from Whanganui towards Turangi at the time.
If this was you, or you know who this pair are, please contact Police online at 105.police.govt.nz, clicking "Update Report" or by calling 105 and quoting file number 250421/4930.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
