One woman has died and another is in a critical condition after a car accident in Waikato.
District Road Policing Manager, Inspector Leo Tooman, said the smash happened on Old Taupiri Rd near Ngaruawahia about 6.15 tonight, and is being investigated by the Waikato Serious Crash Unit.
"Initial indications are a northbound Subaru Impreza has failed to negotiate a bend and smashed through a fence.
"A woman ... passenger in the car suffered critical injuries ... while a male adult passenger suffered minor injuries,'' Mr Tooman said.
"Two boys, believed to be aged five and seven-years-old, were taken to Waikato Hospital by ambulance suffering from what was described as minor to moderate injuries.''
