A New Zealand teenager who had been living in Perth for only
a few weeks has died in a road accident when he stepped out
into traffic.
Vaughan Tewaihapuarangi Gavigan, 19, was flung 15 metres into
the air when he was hit by a car on Saturday and died on the
roadside, the New Zealand Herald reported today.
He had just left a family gathering and the crash was
witnessed by horrified relatives.
Perth police said the teenager, who lived in the suburb of
Willetton, crossed to the median strip. He stopped but
stepped out to continue crossing and was hit by a car driven
by a 33-year-old woman.
Police did not expect to charge the woman.
