All high risk roads should be urgently fitted with a centre barrier to prevent head-on collisions, says a leading road safety campaigner.
Clive Matthew-Wilson, editor of the car review website dogandlemon.com, was commenting after today’s fatal two-car crash on State Highway 1 near Paekakariki.
The accident was caused by one vehicle drifting into the path of another.
Matthew-Wilson says he’s disgusted that the government has left a large section of this road unprotected, despite multiple fatalities.
