A 28-year-old woman is dead and two men are in serious
conditions after a head-on crash near Paekakariki last night.
At about 9.50pm emergency services were called to the scene
of the accident on State Highway 1 about 1.5 kilometres north
of the turnoff to Paekakariki.
A 28-year-old Lower Hutt woman was killed, while the
50-year-old driver of the vehicle was in a serious condition
in Wellington Hospital, Detective Sergeant James McKay said.
A 22-year-old Kapiti man who was driving the other vehicle
was also in a serious condition in Wellington Hospital.
"Police have spoken to a number of witnesses, but are still
appealing to any persons who may have seen the crash or the
actions of the green Toyota Camry station wagon around the
Paekakariki area shortly before the crash.''
