A tragic head-on collision on a New Zealand highway has claimed the lives of three South Korean skiers and left two others seriously injured. The incident occurred when a van carrying the skiers collided with a four-wheel-drive vehicle at an intersection near the rural town of Geraldine on the South Island.
According to local police inspector Vicki Walker, the vehicles were traveling in opposite directions before the collision took place. The crash resulted in the deaths of three individuals who were passengers in the van, while another person traveling with them sustained critical injuries. The driver of the four-wheel-drive vehicle was also seriously injured in the collision.
