There have been an influx of vehicle crashes in Wairarapa. Photo / 123rfWairarapa authorities urge attention on the roads following an influx of serious vehicle crashes over the past week. Nine crashes had been reported since last Monday causing traffic disruption, a power outage, and serious injuries. The road remained closed near the intersection between Lake Ferry and Kahutara roads while the Police Serious Crash Unit investigated. Bowyer said drivers needed to be aware of their surroundings as many of Wairarapa roads needed maintenance and could be tricky to drive on in any particular day.
