Victim of Central Hawke's Bay quad bike incident named
The man killed in a quad bike accident on Saturday was 89-year-old David Frederick Daunton.
Mr Daunton, of Havelock North, went out on his quad bike on a farm in Omakere, Central Hawke’s Bay, on Saturday morning and failed to return, police said.
His body was found shortly before 10pm that evening.
In a statement, police extended their sympathies to his family and friends.
Just one week earlier, a woman in her 20s died when the side-by-side four-wheel-drive she was a passenger in rolled on a rural property at Waipukurau, about 20 minutes from Omakere.
Both deaths have been referred to the Coroner.
