The woman who died in a crash in central Tauranga last week that sparked desperate rescue attempts has now been named.
Police have named the woman as Maree Annis Geary from Otūmoetai.
The 65-year-old had been inside a vehicle that crashed into Tauranga Harbour after a collision on Chapel St on Wednesday.
The vehicle began sinking. A second occupant managed to get out himself but despite about 20 people diving into the harbour to rescue Geary, she died at the scene.
A crane was used to retrieve the vehicle on Thursday.
