A Wairoa man has died in Waikato Hospital after the ute he was a passenger in collided with a firewood trailer in Gisborne.
The 29-year-old suffered extensive injuries in the crash, which happened on Sunday night on Ormond Rd.
He died in the intensive care unit at Waikato Hospital on Monday afternoon.
The man was a passenger in the ute, not the driver, as earlier reported.
The driver, also from Wairoa, was not injured.
