Police want to hear from anyone who saw a vehicle speeding just prior to a horror crash which claimed the lives of three people.
Two women and a man died after a two-car crash just after midnight on Mangaharakeke Dr/State Highway 1, in Hamilton.
Two others, the drivers of each vehicle, were taken to Waikato Hospital with serious injuries.
However, the pair were recovering well. A hospital spokeswoman confirmed they were both now stable on a ward.
The crash happened on a slight bend of the road, which is part of the SH1 bypass which cuts through the city.
