Police investigating a crash that killed a Whangārei mother and daughter are calling on people who may have seen two cars travelling close together shortly before the fatal crash.
The single-vehicle crash on Whangārei Heads Rd was reported to police at 6.46pm on February 17. A car with four people in it left the road on a moderate bend and slammed into a tree.
Sorine Hanham, 30, died shortly after the crash and her daughter, back seat passenger Niquisher Sanders, 7, died the next day in Auckland's Starship Hospital.
