A pedestrian has died after being struck by a car in Matamata tonight.
The car struck the person on Waharoa Rd East, which runs parallel to State Highway 27 north of the township, about 9.35pm.
Diversions are in place and motorists are asked to follow the directions of emergency services staff.
It comes as one person is believed to be critically injured, along with another with serious injuries, after a car hit a fence just after 9pm in Masterton.
