Melbourne man charged over fatal crash
A Melbourne man has been charged with careless driving causing death and injury after a head-on smash on the road between Geraldine and Fairlie last week.
Shu Na Lo, aged 27, was granted a registrar’s remand without needing to appear before a judge today at the Christchurch District Court.
He was granted a remand on bail to the Christchurch court on October 21 so that he could arrange legal advice.
Lo was charged with careless driving causing the death of King Wai Yip, a woman tourist and a passenger in the car, and injuries to May Wong Kot, and Graham John Dawson.
The crash occurred on September 30 after a car left an airport and was driving around a bend where it collided with an oncoming vehicle.
A woman passenger died at the scene and two other occupants were flown to Christchurch Hospital by rescue helicopter.
The driver of the other car received moderate injuries and was taken by ambulance to Timaru Hospital.
