Caution urged after crashes MAX FRETHEY Local police are urging motorists to take extra care on the roads after an “unprecedented” number of crashes in the region over the last fortnight. Tielyr Saige Ayrton, 17, was
killed in a car crash in the early hours on Sunday, 13 March. The car she was driving hit a tree near the intersection of Rutherford and Examiner Sts. Two others were seriously injured in the incident. The crash was the first of at least
12 crashes over a horror period spanning 10 days. On Saturday, 19 March, a vehicle overturned on Muritai St in Tāhunanui. St John treated one patient in a moderate condition who was then transported to Nelson Hospital.
Two days later, on Monday, 21 March, saw at least five crashes across the Nelson Tasman region including a fatal crash on Dominion Rd, Mahana, that evening. There was a crash in Redwood Valley, which saw two patients receive minor injuries and an-
other moderate injuries. The others were in Richmond, Hira and another near Belgrove. The next day, Tuesday, 22 March, a crash on SH6 near Hira saw one person transported to hospital

Pools open for pooches Dogs of all shapes and sizes made a splash at Nayland Park Pool for their annual Doggy Day Out last weekend. The day, which bookends the pool’s summer season, gives dogs free reign to enjoy the refreshing pool water before it is emptied for winter. Officials at the event said it was one the biggest attendances they can remember, with $100 in gold coin koha being donated to the Second Chance Foundation, who help dogs in need in the Nelson Tasman region.
