One vehicle carrying three passengers overturned at 2.25am on Saturday morning near Katikati after it lost control on State Highway 2. No one was injured in the crash.
Senior sergeant Ian Campion, head of the Western Bay of Plenty strategic traffic unit, has expressed concern about the number of crashes on State Highway 29 over the Kaimai Ranges, but is happy there were no crashes on the highway over the weekend.
Tauranga police have launched their winter action plan, which will be executed between April 1 and August 31.
Ian says police have an action plan in place to tackle high risks that cause fatal driving during this period, which includes targeting speed.
