    Rally accidents NZ

    There appears to have been at least two serious incidents at a NZ regional rally (Hanmer Forest Rally, South Island)- resulting in one death and one serious injury reported so far. Raw: Driver critical after Hanmer rally crash - National - NZ Herald Videos I would expect there to be stricter spectator rules if the WRC event returns to NZ as a possible consequence.

    Please correct me if I am wrong but If I remember correctly the previous and only other NZ rally fatality was in 1981 in the Rowallen Forest when a driver was trapped in his car under water in a fire fighting water storage pond.
