NZ Transport Agency Chief Executive Fergus Gammie says the circumstances which saw a Warrant of Fitness (WoF) issued to an unsafe vehicle which was subsequently involved in a fatal crash are totally unacceptable.

65-year-old William Ball was killed when the car in which he was the front seat passenger lost control and crashed into a ditch near Dargaville on 6th January this year. Police investigating the crash found that the front passenger seatbelt in the vehicle was frayed and failed in the crash. Dargaville Diesel Specialists (DDS), who issued a WoF to the vehicle in December 2017 just a month prior to the crash, admitted it had done so without properly inspecting the vehicle, in particular the seatbelts.

The NZ Transport Agency is asking anyone who has concerns about a WoF issued by Dargaville Diesel to please make contact by calling 0800 108 809.
