There were no deaths on New Zealand's roads over Easter, but not everyone got the message to stay at home and save lives over the long weekend. One person is in a critical condition after a motorcycle and vehicle collided in Auckland's Mt Albert on Sunday, but the Easter Weekend road toll is officially zero. NZTA says this is the second time no road deaths were recorded for an Easter holiday period, with the previous occasion being Easter 2012. During Easter weekend in 2019, there were four fatal crashes, resulting in four deaths. The highest Easter road toll was 17, in 1990.
