Sione Nusipepa, 23, a Tongan national, was among the three victims killed in a tragic collision between a car and a train on Peachgrove Road in Hamilton, New Zealand, on Wednesday.
Police have identified the victims as William Brown, 46, from Huntly; Shylin Huirana-Osbourne, 26, from Hamilton; and Sione Nusipepa, also from Huntly. All three were in the car at the time of the accident.
Police have extended their condolences to the victims’ families and thanked witnesses. They are seeking to speak with individuals in a vehicle that was stopped at the crossing barrier at the scene.
An online fundraiser has been launched to assist with Nusipepa’s final arrangements.
