SEOUL, South Korea – A tragic vehicle collision on a highway in New Zealand has resulted in the deaths of three South Korean skiers, according to local police and sports officials from South Korea. The incident involved a van and a four-wheel-drive vehicle.

The crash took place at an intersection near a rural town in New Zealand’s South Island. Both vehicles were traveling in opposite directions when they collided. Authorities have not confirmed the details leading up to the crash.

Emergency services responded to the scene and transported those involved to nearby hospitals. Among the injured are two individuals who sustained serious injuries. Their current medical conditions are not publicly known.

The South Korean embassy in New Zealand is working to gather more information regarding the victims and to provide assistance to their families. South Korean sports officials expressed their condolences for the loss.

Investigations into the cause of the crash are ongoing. Local police have stated that they are examining various factors that may have contributed to the collision. The area where the accident occurred is known for its scenic views but also for potential hazards related to road conditions.

Authorities encourage all drivers in the region to exercise caution and adhere to traffic regulations. The loss of the skiers has shocked families and friends back in South Korea, who are mourning the untimely deaths of their loved ones.

This incident highlights the risks involved in road travel, especially in areas frequented by tourists. Many travelers visit New Zealand for its outdoor activities, including skiing. The South Korean skiing community is particularly affected, as the deceased were active participants in skiing events and competitions.

Community leaders in South Korea are rallying to support the families of the deceased skiers. They have urged officials to improve safety measures for travelers abroad and to enhance the overall awareness of road safety.
