Waikato police say last night’s crash which killed a man and left five people seriously injured was caused when a car waiting to turn right was struck from behind.

The impact threw the car into the opposing lane, where it was struck by an oncoming vehicle.

The dead man was 65-year-old Ngaruawahia local Bob Frazer. He was the front seat passenger in the stationary vehicle.

A mother and her three children, aged seven, four and 18-months, remain seriously ill in Waikato Hospital.
