Six people have died in three crashes on roads overnight, including a campervan crash in Canterbury. Cars would turn off or into Te Moana Rd and often collide with other vehicles, or lose traction in the process, she said. She said traffic would commonly turn on to Te Moana Road to head for Barkers Factory. Police said it appeared that one of the cars was travelling the wrong way and the drivers of both cars died at the scene. Waka Kotahi said the expressway is closed in both directions between Rangiriri (Glen Murray Rd) and Te Kauwhata (Rodda Rd).
