Police investigating a fatal crash in Blenheim yesterday are searching for a witness that may be able to help us understand the circumstances of the crash.
Around 10.55am, Police were called to the crash at the intersection of Wither and Howick Roads involving a car and a truck. Sadly, one person died at the scene.
CCTV from the area has captured a cyclist seen travelling the same direction as the truck on Wither Road just before the crash.
We believe the cyclist could have either witnessed the truck passing by or may have seen or heard the crash.
If this is you, or you recognise who this may be, please get in touch – any information you have could significantly assist in our enquiries.
Anyone else with any information about this crash is also urged to contact us.
Contact us on 105, either over the phone or using the service online.
Please reference file number 261023/6252.
