One person has died following a crash in Tāneatua, 13km south of Whakatāne in Bay of Plenty last night, a police spokesperson said on Wednesday.
The single vehicle crash on White Pine Bush Road was reported just after 6pm.
One person died at the scene, and a second person was seriously injured.
It was reported last night that the car crashed into a river off State Highway 2.
The road was closed overnight but has since re-opened.
Inquiries to determine the circumstances of the crash are continuing, the spokesperson said.
