Sad to hear on the news this morning that two 4wd with written off by a milk tanker and trailer up Tauranga way. One had Simex tyres on and some ARB stickers. One driver from one and a passenger from another were killed.
Very sad indeed - no names given yet
Unlucky 4wd
I saw it on breakfast news this morning.
The 28 and 38-year-old men died after the crash at 7pm yesterday between a car and the milk tanker on State Highway 29 at Pyes Pa, 16km south of Tauranga.
One man was initially reported dead but Tauranga police today said a second man had died later.
Four other people were injured.
Police had no further details available but expected to be able to release the names of the men about midday.

Two members of the Bay of Plenty Four Wheel Drive club have been
tragically killed in an accident involving an out of control milk
tanker on State Highway 29, just out of Tauranga.
There are still 3 in hospital, one serious, with the other 2 not so
bad. The tanker driver is also in hospital.
Details are still coming in, but it is known that following a club run
up the Matamata side of Thompsons Track, 3 vehicles went back up to
rescue an ill equipped single vehicle stuck on the Katikati side, and
the accident happened when they were coming home when the accident
occured.
The deceased are Vince Hyland, and Clayton Woodward. Vince is well
known as a winch challenge competitor.
I will post more details as they become available."

The official word from Police....
"A fully laden HMV combination (B Train - milk tanker) travelling west on SH29 has lost control on a moderate left hand and rolled onto its side clipping an east bound light trailer being towed by a 4x4. The milk tanker has slid down the roadway on its side covering both lanes and has collided with 2 oncoming 4x4s. Drivers of both 4x4s died at the scene and 3 occupants plus the truck driver received serious injuries."
That said, the Heavy Vehicle Crash Investigation Unit are still investigating the tanker, so the cause of the loss-of-control has not yet been determined.

TOP STORY: 'Heroes' died on way home from rescue
10.10.2006
By Beck Vass
Two Tauranga men killed when a runaway milk tanker slammed into their
four-wheel-drive vehicles were "heroes" who had just helped rescue a man
trapped for two days in the Kaimais.
Vincent Greg Hyland, 38, and Clayton Neville Woodward, 28, died when
their vehicles were hit by an out-of-control milk tanker which slid sideways
across State Highway 29 on Sunday night.
The pair were returning from helping rescue a Taupo man who had been
stranded in his four-wheel-drive in remote bush in the Kaimai Range for two
days. They and two others helped winch the man's vehicle out using Mr
Hyland's car.
Both men died in the 7pm tanker crash near Redwood Lane, Tauriko.
Emergency workers say the deaths come amid the worst spate of road
trauma they can recall on Western Bay roads, with seven deaths in the past
10 weeks.
Witnesses and rescuers described a scene of horror which spanned about
170m and saw four injured people taken to Tauranga Hospital.
Two Tauranga males aged 35 and 15, and the tanker's 29-year-old
driver, a Hastings man, were today in Tauranga Hospital's intensive care
unit with serious injuries.
Mr Woodward's brother-in-law, a 34-year-old Papamoa man, suffered
minor injuries and has been discharged from hospital.
The accident has left 130 members of the Bay of Plenty Four Wheel
Drive Club "shocked" at the loss of two of its members.
Club member Mike Wilkinson told the Bay of Plenty Times he was
travelling in convoy with Mr Hyland and Mr Woodward with another club
member - each in their own vehicles. He was driving about 30 seconds ahead
of the two men and had radio contact with them just seconds before the crash
which claimed their lives.
"It's a bit of a shock, obviously, considering we were travelling
together at the time. I'm thanking my lucky stars."
Both Mr Hyland and Mr Woodward had enjoyed a "great" day and had
played a large part in rescuing the Taupo man.
"We were only there at that time of night because we had gone into the
bush to rescue another four-wheel-driver who was stuck.
"We were a bit ahead of them. We radioed back and said 'are you guys
okay?' and they said 'we're just coming across Omanawa Rd'.
"It must have been just seconds before the crash and then we couldn't
get hold of them again and we thought they'd just stopped somewhere."
Mr Wilkinson said it was normal for the group to lose radio contact as
they each went home.
Just hours before, they had completed their 4WD trek and left the bush
when they were approached by some motorcyclists telling them there was
someone stuck in the bush.
They used Mr Hyland's winch and vehicle to rescue the man, Mr
Wilkinson said. "We'd done our good deed for the day, rescuing this guy
who'd been stranded with no way of getting out.
"He'd been there for two days."
Mr Wilkinson said the trapped man had told the group they were
"heroes" and had made a donation to the driving club but they dismissed the
rescue as "no big deal".
Both men were fathers and were "wonderful", hard-working people. Mr
Wilkinson had known Mr Hyland, a storeman and father of a baby boy, for
about six years.
"Both the guys had a great day. They were all smiles. They had a
wonderful day doing the sport that they absolutely loved."
Mr Wilkinson said he believed Mr Woodward, a truck driver, had a young
child and was expecting a second.
Mr Woodward's sister told the Bay of Plenty Times her "baby brother"
was "full of life, full of beans". "He was a fantastic guy, father and a
loving husband, a great worker. The list could go on and on. He'll be very
sorely missed."
The officer in charge of traffic in the Western Bay, Senior Sergeant
Ian Campion, said there was nothing either man could have done to prevent
Sunday's crash.
"The drivers of the two four-wheel-drives, I don't believe, could have
done anything to get out of the way of the overturned milk tanker.
"Those people were left with nowhere to go. It slid sideways down the
road across both lanes."
The deaths of Mr Hyland and Mr Woodward have taken the Western Bay's
2006 road toll to 11, after recording 10 for the whole of 2005.
"Since the first of August we've had seven (deaths)," Mr Campion said.
Asked why there had been so much trauma on our roads, he said speed
and alcohol were factors in some of the crashes but others, such as Sunday's
double fatality, were unavoidable.
"It's really, really disappointing. We just urge people to drive to
the conditions, slow down, don't drink and drive and remember to wear your
seat belts."

Lone candle burns where loving Dad should be
11.10.2006
By Beck Vass
Vincent Hyland should be home with his wife Sally and 17-month-old son Zachary, planning the design and location of the new home they planned to build after selling their 3.2ha Oropi property.
Instead, Mr Hyland's family are planning his funeral.
A giggling Zachary pops up playing peek-a-boo from behind the couch looking towards where Sally and his two grandmothers are sitting at the kitchen table, unaware that his father won't be coming home.
On the table is a burning candle, surrounded by photos of Mr Hyland - one with Sally when they got engaged, one with Zachary his "pride and joy" and another on his wedding day 11 years ago.
The family has received a steady stream of phone calls, flowers and visitors from around New Zealand and overseas since Sunday, when they were told Mr Hyland, 38, had been killed in an horrific crash as his four-wheel-drive was hit head-on by a milk tanker on State Highway 29, Tauriko.
Tauranga man Clayton Neville Woodward, 28, was also killed in the crash in his four-wheel-drive.
The pair were two of four men, all members of the Bay of Plenty Four Wheel Drive Club, who were driving in convoy after a day in the Kaimai ranges where they had helped rescue a Taupo man stranded on a rough track for two days.
The group used Mr Hyland's Hilux - a vehicle he loved taking places it shouldn't go - to winch the man to safety.
Mrs Hyland told the Bay of Plenty Times that her husband's readiness to help the stranded Taupo man was suggestive of who he was.
"That's the type of guy he was, he had to help ... do anything for anybody."
Mr Hyland joined the Bay of Plenty Four Wheel Drive Club about five years ago and loved cars and trucks from a young age.
"He loved cars and car racing. He'd come in covered in mud," Mrs Hyland said.
"His main love apart from his family was four-wheel-driving."
His mother Marilyn Hyland said her son used to collect "matchbox" cars when he was a child and would line them up in perfect order.
Order was part of his personality. He liked to keep his lawns mowed and his tools tidy so he knew where things were, she said.
Wearing her late husband's wedding ring on a necklace, Mrs Hyland said her husband was a loving, loyal, proud and very hard-working man.
"He could do anything, build anything. He was a devoted, loving husband, he would just turn his hand to anything and everything."
She said Zachary looked set to follow in his father's footsteps - already the "spitting image" of his Dad and full of the same passion for cars and driving.
"Zac's very much like him, a guy's guy, into cars, wheels and things like Vince was. Zac loves four-wheel-driving too."
Mrs Hyland said her husband went four-wheel-driving about twice a month. Usually, she and Zachary went with him but she had decided not to go on the night of the crash because they had a big driving and camping weekend planned for Labour Weekend, she said.
Western Bay police have said there was nothing Mr Hyland or Mr Woodward could do to avoid the crash.
Mrs Hyland said her husband was a good, careful driver but the accident that took his life could happen to anyone.
"We know the boys did nothing wrong. They were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
"You can be a careful driver and you can still end up like Vince. He took evasive action and still copped it."
Mr Hyland's two passengers at the time of the crash are family friends. A 15-year-old Welcome Bay boy and a 35-year-old Welcome Bay man remain in Tauranga Hospital, with the boy still in an induced coma in intensive care last night in a serious but stable condition.
Mr Hyland's family said they were extremely grateful to emergency services staff, particularly one nurse called Barbara who stayed working after her shift finished as they desperately tried to find out where he was.
Mr Hyland will be farewelled by family and friends at Tauranga Park Funeral Home in Pyes Pa at 1.30pm tomorrow.

Jailed for killing fathers
28.07.2008
by Sandra Conchie
The man who killed Tauranga fathers Vincent Hyland and Clayton Woodward and seriously injured two others after he lost control of a milk tanker has been jailed for two years and six months.
At an emotionally charged marathon sentencing hearing in Tauranga District Court, the victims of dangerous driver Ryan Harrison finally got to hear him apologise, something for which they had waited more than 21 months.
Harrison's apology came after he heard from the dead men's parents, their widows, in-laws and a large number of other victims who read out their sad victim impact statements, each slating him for his lack of expressions of regret.
The hearing lasted almost five hours and followed Harrison, 30, being found guilty by jury last month of two counts of dangerous driving causing the deaths of Mr Hyland and Mr Woodward.
Harrison was also found guilty on two counts of dangerous driving causing serious injury to Grant Collett, 36, and his stepson Samuel Stewart, 16, _ both passengers in Mr Hyland's vehicle.
Mr Hyland, 38, had one son and Mr Woodward, 28, also had a son and was about to become a dad again. They died when Harrison's 46-tonne B-train tanker slammed into their separate 4WDs at Tauriko near Redwood Lane on October 8, 2006.
Harrison was driving down Tauriko hill at a speed conservatively estimated at 111km/h when he turned left into a bend too sharply and lost control.
One trailer rolled, dragging the second trailer and B-train unit with it, slamming into Mr Hyland's and Mr Woodward's vehicles.
Mr Collett suffered chest injuries, a fractured dislocated right elbow requiring surgery, a large haemotoma in his left hip and blood clots in his right leg while Sam suffered chest and head injury.
No longer able to cope with the physical demands of his building work, Mr Collett had to change his career, and is yet to fully recover from his injuries while his stepson suffered a permanent brain injury.
Harrison wept as he stood and read out a prepared statement in court on Friday.
He first thanked Land Transport New Zealand for making improvements to the stretch of highway, then his parents and supporters, ``God' for giving him strength and lastly he apologised to his victims.
"The last 21 months have been extremely difficult for me, so much has happened and yet things seemed to have stopped and it is so difficult to even imagine life before this tragedy.
"To the many family and friends of Vince and Clayton I must apologise for putting you all through the stress of trial, it couldn't have been easy for you.
"I know I should have pleaded guilty from the start but I genuinely couldn't remember what happened and my last memory was of the truck not speeding."
Harrison said he had "prayed for Vince and Clayton" every night since the crash and would continue to do so. He said he wished he had died instead of them.
Crown prosecutor Rob Ronayne urged Judge Peter Rollo to impose a custodial sentence starting at three years.
Harrison's lawyer Bill Nabney argued a home detention sentence was the appropriate sanction given his client's lack of prior convictions and his otherwise exemplary driving record and previous good character.
But Judge Rollo said he agreed with the Crown that given that Harrison was unemployed and living with his parents, a sentence of home detention would not have a significant punitive effect on him.
Judge Rollo admonished Harrison for his failure to offer any earlier expressions of regret to families which was the usual "significant human response" to such a tragedy
