A Waikato man involved in a high-speed head-on crash that killed a man and seriously injured the female driver of the other vehicle is continuing to fight to clear his name.
Anthony James White, 21, was found guilty in the High Court at Rotorua in 2010 of manslaughter and two counts of dangerous driving causing injury.
The jury rejected his claim that his front-seat passenger Eligh Smith was the driver and in June 2010 he was jailed for six years.
White smashed into Meghan Bowker's Volkswagen Passat about 8pm on August 2, 2008.
Ms Bowker had surgery for life-threatening internal and head injuries. The back-seat passenger in White's car, Andrew Opin, 37, of Te Kauwhata, died at the scene.
