    Police are searching for a vehicle overtaken moments before a crash that left a dozen people injured near Taupo yesterday

    Police are searching for a vehicle overtaken moments before a crash that left a dozen people injured near Taupo yesterday


    Initial enquiries suggest a van hit an SUV head on - after trying to overtake another vehicle on State Highway 5 near Rangitaiki School Road.

    A driver appeared in court today - and will reappear in Tauranga District Court on Wednesday.

    The van was carrying visiting Canadian under-16 and under-18 hockey players, heading from Napier to games in Tauranga.

    Police say they'd like to speak to witnesses and see any dashcam footage of the van - especially from the driver overtaken.
