Police investigating a fatal crash on State Highway 5 in the Mamaku Plateau want to speak to a drone operator who was in the area at the time.
One person died in the three-vehicle crash between Tapapa and Maraeroa Rds on Sunday and the highway was closed for several hours.
Two others were injured.
In a statement, Sergeant Shane McNally said police wanted to speak to the driver of a four-wheel-drive vehicle, possibly a Suzuki, who came across the scene of the crash near Waiohotu Rd and operated a drone in the vicinity.
