Isaac Oldale died after his scooter collided with a rubbish truck.
Police have named the man who died when his scooter collided with a rubbish truck in Whanganui on Friday.
He was Whanganui man Isaac Oldale, 23.
The crash happened at 11.13am on January 19.
Oldale received a serious head injury and was taken to Whanganui Hospital in a critical condition. He died that afternoon.
The serious crash unit is investigating.
In December 2011, Oldale was at home with his sister when a tyre fire that had been lit next door spread into their Castlecliff home.
The pair called emergency services and fled the house with the help of neighbours.
The driver was not injured, but three houses have been evacuated as a precaution as the truck is stabilised and removed. Video / TVNZ
