The incident occurred just about 07:10h this morning and the dead man has been identified as Wilmot Warde of Lot 1608 Central Amelia’s Ward, Linden.
Based on the information, Warde was driving motorcar PLL 6077 proceeding north along the western side of the Haurauni Public Road at a fast rate of speed when he lost control of the vehicle.
