The pedestrian who was hit and killed yesterday in Onekawa, Napier, can now be named.
Brian Pritchard, 72, was a proud and well-presented man.
He had only recently retired from his role as general manager of Forestry and Logistics at Pan Pac, after 45 years of service.
Throughout his career, he was held in high regard throughout the business community, both locally and nationally.
Brian frequently walked his dog to the Onekawa shopping centre and was doing so at the time of this tragic and devastating accident.
