1 min read

The investigation into a bus crash that claimed the lives of five Chinese nationals on SH 5 north of Rotorua last Wednesday continues.
?
Next of kin have been notified and arrangements are under way to repatriate the deceased with their loved ones in China.
?
Police are very grateful to those who have provided valuable information to the enquiry to date.
?
However we are still very keen to hear from three potential witnesses, who have yet to be identified.
?
One is the driver of a white car described as being close to the scene as the crash occurred.
?
Police are also keen to speak with a truck driver wearing a hi-vis jacket who radioed his base for assistance and directed traffic prior to Police arriving at the scene.
?
Finally, we would like to speak to the driver of another car that was directly behind the first car on the crash scene.
?
These persons are asked to contact Rotorua Police on 105.
