Frankton residents Simran Mala, 25, and her partner, Jamie Pitman, 35, along with the couple’s unborn daughter, due in October, were killed in the two-vehicle collision on Malaghans Rd, between Queenstown and Arrowtown, about 10.30pm on June 27.
The couple died at the scene of the crash, which also involved a Millbrook Resort shuttle, near the Waikaka Church.
Five others were injured.
Hato Hone St John responded to the crash with three ambulances and a helicopter, along with Fire and Emergency NZ crews from Arrowtown, Frankton and Queenstown, and police — the road remained closed until about noon the following day.
While the deaths have been referred to the coroner, a police media spokeswoman says there’s "no update that we can provide at this time".
"Fatal crash investigations take some time, typically several months, [and] while the investigation is ongoing, we are limited in the comment/information we can provide."
