    Toy Ride in NZ leaves three dead. UPDATE Four dead.

    Got an email from an associate in NZ. Tragic end to a charity ride.

    Trio killed in tragic end to charity ride - New Zealand, world, sport, business & entertainment news on Stuff.co.nz



    Edit: Todays update.
    Sadly this accident has claimed it's fourth victim.

    The 11 year old girl has died in hospital yesterday.

    Timaru Herald

    I'm left speechless and saddened.

    What happened to cause this crash? Anyone know anything further than what was written in the article?

    It looks to me as if the camper van has moved left in his own lane to make room for the bikes heading the other way and hit the soft edges causing the driver to panic, the bus to lurch then find traction again and shoot across into the opposite lane sharply and roll, just guessing though. A nasty accident.
    RIP riders.

    RIP all.

    When I'm in the cage, I will not move over for motorcyclists (or cars) on narrow roads, and I don't believe anyone else should either.
    This is an extreme example of why people should just drive normally and let others do their own thing, particulary since bikes are capable of overtaking quite quickly.

    RIP to the riders involved.
    Sad to say, but this is a horrible accident brought about by a little bit of good will on the roads.

    Agree completely mate.

    Besides, you might interpret a car moving over as an invitation to pass while the car driver may not intend that at all.

    RIP all.

    Its interesting the different wording in the two articles.

    Three people were killed after the motorcycles they were riding collided with a Britz campervan on State Highway 79 between Geraldine and Fairlie.

    Three motorcyclists are dead after a campervan ploughed into a group delivering toys
