Two fatal crashes in Wellington

Reporter Community News

Wellington police are appealing to the public to take more care after attending two fatal crashes in Wellington over the weekend.
A car crashed on Cobham Drive, outside St Patrick’s College, near the intersection of Evans Bay Pde in Kilbirnie on Sunday, resulting in the death of a 16 year-old.
Stuff understands the car involved had been previously stolen from an address in Miramar. Police report there were seven reports of stolen cars in Miramar last week.
It was the second fatal crash of the weekend with another death on Saturday following a two-car crash in Upper Hutt.
Wellingtom police subsequently released a statement calling on Wellingtons to take more care on the roads.
"Two grieving families and two funerals being planned before Christmas. We need to do better Wellington. It really is so simple."

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
