Ashburton police are seeking witnesses to a fatal crash involving a tractor and an ute on Maronan Road last week.
The driver of the ute, Geoffrey Stoddart, 69, died at the scene after crashing into a yellow Ford tractor on May 26, police said.
Police say initial indications are that the tractor was travelling east on Maronan Road at around 6pm.
After the ute crashed into it from behind, it veered into a row of trees, police said.
Police would like to hear from anyone who saw a yellow Ford tractor with an auger bucket on the front and concrete counter weight on the back in the vicinity of Frasers Road, Lills Road and Maronan Road on the day of the crash, between 5.30 and 6.10pm.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Ashburton police via 105 or anonymously on 0800 555 111.
An earlier version of this story erroneously stated the tractor was believed to have left the scene of the crash.
