The driver of a ute which overtook a logging track on SH1 in Otago, causing an oncoming courier van to roll and end up on the other side of the road, has come forward to police.
The accident happened around 6.50am last Wednesday near Titri. Police issued an appeal on Monday in the hopes of identifying the white Toyota Hilux.
Captured on dashcam footage by the logging truck, police described the overtake as "extremely risky behaviour".
