Father of six killed with two nephews in Ramarama crash

The wife of a man killed in Monday's fatal crash on State Highway One south of Auckland said she was supposed to be travelling with him that day but her husband stopped her. Father of six Uili Fa'aofo was killed along with two of his nephews when a truck travelling south between Ramarama and Bombay blew a tyre, sending it across the motorway into the path of the van he was driving. Three others travelling in the van were injured in the crash which saw the motorway close for 21 hours. Grace Fia'avai spoke with widow Nu'ulua Fa'aofo about the accident and just a warning, some listeners may find the story distressing.
