Teams worked feverishly to free the injured from a crash in Tekapo in which three people died. PHOTO: SUPPLIEDA Chinese tourist pleaded guilty in the Dunedin District Court this morning to causing a horror crash near Lake Tekapo which killed three people and left four more injured. His case was heard in the Dunedin District Court because his wife, who was sitting in the front seat, was still receiving treatment at Dunedin Hospital. Xu, who had a calm demeanour in court, appeared with the assistance of an interpreter, and pleaded guilty to all of the charges - three counts of careless driving causing death and four of careless driving causing injury - he was facing. Judge Turner convicted Xu on all seven charges and remanded him to appear in the Timaru District Court on June 20.
