A driver allegedly at fault in a fatal Queenstown road accident has been remanded on bail without plea.
Jiaxuan Goh (24), who lives in Parnell, Auckland, is charged with dangerous driving causing the death of Susan Cullen.
Mrs Cullen (49) was killed on Gibbston Highway (SH 6), near the Crown Range turn-off, on February 13.
She was pronounced dead at the scene of the head-on crash, despite the valiant efforts of emergency services staff.
Three other people were seriously injured, including Goh. They were flown to Dunedin Hospital.
Goh is also charged with two counts of dangerous driving causing injury, to Terry Cullen and Jia Xin Neo.
The Cullens, from Australia, were on holiday in the resort.
The charge of dangerous driving causing death carries a maximum sentence of 10 years' imprisonment and a $20,000 fine. Dangerous driving causing injury is a five-year maximum and $20,000 fine.
Goh was remanded to Queenstown District Court on April 3. The remand was granted by paperwork last week, although technically his first appearance was this morning. He was not required to appear in court.
