The man who died when his car collided with a house being moved on State Highway 10 was Nicholas (Nick) Kingsford of Kerikeri.
The collision occurred 1km north of Pakaraka Junction just before 2am on November 12 as the 52-year-old was heading south and the house was being transported northto Doubtless Bay.
The police investigation is continuing but the removal firm is not thought to have been at fault. Mr Kingsford's death has been referred to the Coroner. His name was released by police yesterday.
The house was being moved by Fistonich Building Removals of Auckland, not Larsen Building Removals as stated earlier. Larsen Building Removals had provided the pilot vehicles.
The driver of the truck and his passengers were shaken but uninjured.
