The woman killed when the scooter she was riding collided with a truck near Tinwald on Tuesday has been named as Ashburton mother-of-three Donna Lusty.
The 50-year-old died at the scene, at the intersection of Grahams Rd and Grove Farm Rd, at lunchtime on Tuesday.
Police said it appeared the electric cycle or scooter-type vehicle Lusty was riding turned right into Grove Farm Road in front of a small truck.
Ashburton Police Sergeant Sean Buchanan said inquiries were continuing into the crash, but the death had been referred to the coroner.
He also said police wanted to thank two women who were among the first on the scene and stopped to offer assistance.
