Attributable to Inspector Phil Gillbanks:

A woman is due to appear in Rotorua District Court today on charges relating to a fatal crash last year.

The crash on Te Ngae Road on 6 November involved a car and a bus, killing a passenger in the accused’s vehicle and critically injuring two others.

The 24-year-old woman is charged with dangerous driving causing death, and 4x dangerous driving causing injury.

These charges follow the recent charging of a female passenger in the same vehicle, who has been charged with being a party to dangerous driving causing death, 4x party to dangerous driving causing injury, and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
