A woman who died in a head-on crash on State Highway One north of Balclutha yesterday has been named by police.
Beverly Joyce Watson, 32, of Riverton, had been driving a southbound Nissan Pulsar and died at the scene.
A 59-year-old driver of the other vehicle involved in the crash
was discharged from Dunedin Hospital this afternoon.
The state highway remained closed with detours this morning as Balclutha police and a serious crash investigation specialist completed a scene examination. The road re-opened around midday.
The investigation into the cause of the crash is continuing and police say it is too early to speculate around which factors may have caused it.
