Bridget Glackin Car Accident: One identified among three killed in Sefton car crash.
Following a two-car deadly collision in Sefton yesterday, police can reveal a third individual has passed away from their injuries in the hospital.
Each vehicle’s occupant perished at the site, while the second occupant of one of the vehicles was brought to the hospital with serious injuries.
Sadly, that person passed away overnight in Christchurch Hospital.
Following another deadly collision involving a car and a school bus on Friday in the Sefton region, yesterday’s tragedy resulted in the deaths of two people.
Sadly, both of that car’s occupants passed away right there.
Inspector Peter Cooper, the commander of Canterbury Rural Area, claims that five families’ lives have been completely upended in the course of a single weekend.
“This is an incredibly sad blow to not only the families of the deceased, but to all those affected in a small community – which includes the attending emergency services, some of whom would have attended both crashes,” he says.
While the exact causes of the crashes remain under investigation, Inspector Cooper says there was poor weather conditions in the area at the time of Sunday’s crash.
“It’s a very sad reminder to people of the importance of taking care every single time you get behind the wheel.”
