Coroner finds NZTA aware of poor Canterbury highway condition before fatal crash

A coroner has found that the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) was aware of the poor condition of a section of Canterbury highway with a high crash rate prior to a fatal accident. Despite this knowledge, the agency did not take sufficient action to improve the highway in the weeks leading up to the woman's death. This finding highlights concerns about road safety management and accountability.
