The crash involved a car and an SUV which was towing a large horse float about 2pm yesterday on State Highway 3 in the passing lane near Sanson, acting Inspector Nigel Allan said.
Preliminary indications suggested 34-year-old driver Kent James Bond, of Feilding, had overtaken a number of vehicles in the westbound passing lane before losing control, he said.
The car then crossed the double yellow lines, directly into the path of the oncoming SUV.
