The Queenstown-based adventure tour operator involved in a fatal buggy crash in North Otago is working with authorities investigating the crash, bosses say. Prestige Adventure directors John Thomssen and John Kluts confirmed in a statement their company was involved in the crash on a "private, multi-day adventure expedition" during a four-wheel-drive buggy state. Dome Hill Station owner David Douglas earlier told Stuff the crash happened in a remote area of his station. The pair who died were with a tour group that did not have permission to be on his property, he said. "As this matter is under investigation we cannot provide any further comment at this stage."
