    A fatal Upper Hutt crash caused by two motorists not merging into a lane has been labelled entirely preventable

    A fatal Upper Hutt crash caused by two motorists not merging into a lane has been labelled entirely preventable


    Open Justice reports David Armstrong was killed in 2020 when he and other driver Lucilla Linda Brunt failed to merge.

    The collision seriously injured two others.

    Crash investigator Hamish Piercy says the crash didn't have to happen.

    Piercy says neither driver backed down and the outcome was tragic.

    He says whether one was in the right or wrong -- both had the choice to prevent it.
