A 19-year-old Waimate man remained in a serious condition in Dunedin Hospital yesterday following a crash near Glenavy, just north of the Waitaki River bridge, on Friday.
Kyle Bree was the driver of a car which collided with a horse truck just north of the Waitaki River bridge.
He was flown by the Otago Regional Rescue Helicopter to Dunedin Hospital in a critical condition after the crash, but has now been transferred from the hospital's high dependency unit to an open ward.
His passenger, Tony Kelvin Wood (18), was killed when the car braked to avoid another car turning into a rest area, veered across the road and collided with the truck.
Police are still investigating the crash between the car and horse truck.
Waimate Senior Constable Clint Vallender said it had not been decided whether charges would be laid in relation to the crash.
