Tragedy struck Northland this morning as a two-vehicle crash on Kaitaia-Awaroa Road claimed two lives, marking the first fatality of the Matariki holiday weekend. Emergency crews, including ambulances and a helicopter, rushed to the scene, treating three others—ranging from critical to minor injuries—and transporting them to Northland Base Hospital. The road was closed for hours as police and firefighters worked to secure the area and rescue trapped victims. Authorities urged drivers to avoid the route and brace for delays.
