Crash investigation underway

The serious crash unit is investigating a crash which claimed the life of a man on Plummers Point Road last night.

Emergency services were called to the accident at around 5.20pm after a blue Subaru and a truck crashed near Bruntwood Drive.


One person was killed after a crash between a car and truck last night.

The front seat passenger of the vehicle died at the scene and the rear seat passenger was taken to Tauranga Hospital with moderate injuries.

A third man also sustained injuries in the crash.

Speaking to SunLive at the scene, Sergeant Nigel Ramsden said it appears the car crossed the centre line into the path of the oncoming truck.

The circumstances of how this happened is under investigation.

Western Bay of Plenty road policing manager Senior Sergeant Ian Campion says Plummbers Point Rd is open but police will return to the scene of the crash later on this morning.

"They will be surveying the scene, but I don't expect this to create any delays."
