Queenstown's bar community is in mourning after one of its own died in an eerie car crash.
Popular barman Dean Dewhurst, 28, was killed in the early hours of Monday morning in Clitheroe, England, when his Volkswagen Golf collided with a truck.
His parents were killed in a crash less than a mile away 19 years ago - a crash Dewhurst survived.
Dewhurst, then eight, was in the backseat with his two younger brothers. It was the start of a family holiday.
The children all survived the crash and were raised by grandparents and other family.
