One of the pedestrians injured in a crash on Cable Street in Wellington on 18 June has now died.
Police were called to Cable Street at 12.06am after a report of a crash involving a car and two pedestrians.
The pedestrians were transported to hospital – one in a serious condition, and one critical.
A 23-year-old man was charged in relation to the crash the same day.
Tragically, the pedestrian who had been in a critical condition died in hospital yesterday (5 July).
Our sincere condolences go out to their family and friends at this difficult time.
Further charges for the 23-year-old man are likely.
