US man killed in Coromandel crash named

Police have identified a 21-year-old American man who was killed in a crash on a Coromandel farm.

Jeffery Robert Frum of Newport Beach, California was found dead underneath a Kubota RTV utility vehicle which rolled on a rural Hahei driveway on Friday morning.

Sergeant Andrew Morrison of Whitianga police said his body was discovered by the couple he had been staying with.

"There are not considered to be any suspicious circumstances associated with Mr Frum's death, which has been reported to the coroner."

The Government's labour group investigated the incident.

The death was not considered a road fatality because it happened on a private driveway.
