Car crash victim named

A young woman killed when a "people mover" vehicle loaded with eight people rolled yesterday near Swanson, west Auckland, has been named.

She was Jessie Patrick, 20, from the Auckland suburb of Massey.

The other seven in the vehicle, including the 19-year-old male driver, escaped with minor to moderate injuries.

The vehicle ran out of control on a moderate bend on Te Henga Rd about 2pm, hit a bank, and overturned.

No other vehicle was involved and police said they were still speaking to the injured occupants.

Ms Patrick was not thought to have been wearing a seat belt, police said.
