'I'm afraid of being in cars': Did lack of road maintenance kill Helen Poon?

Summary by Ground News
Helen Poon, 34, was critically injured in a two-car crash near Hastings on December 30. Five days later, January 4, she died in hospital. Her friend Margareta Dovgal arrived in New Zealand with her on Christmas Day to go on a road trip and visit one of Poon's friends. She remembers navigating from the passenger seat using Google Maps as the Audi TT travelled along Roys Hill Rd, then on to the intersection where the road merges with Maraekakaho Rd. One of the give way signs was missing, while the other had been turned to face the wrong way. Burnout marks obscure markings on the road.
