A person has died following a crash between a car and a motorcycle in Palmerston North last night.
Police said officers were called to the scene on Tennet Drive in Turitea at around 8.25pm.
"Sadly, the person passed away at the scene," a police spokesperson said.
"Our thoughts are with their family at this difficult time. An investigation into the cause of the crash is under way."
The incident follows a number of fatal and serious crashes within the past 24 hours.
Police this morning said a person died at the scene of a crash on Auckland's Southern Motorway at around 10am yesterday morning, and a person died on SH1 north of Tūrangi last night after a crash just before 7pm.
At around 2am this morning, three people sustained moderate to critical injuries in a single-vehicle crash in Central Otago.
