Police have released the names of two teenagers killed in a head-on accident in Paremata in which one car flipped on to its roof.

Udo Fourie and Nathan John Laurenson, both 18, died in the crash on Grays Rd on Sunday evening.

The Impreza flipped on to its roof, landing in water in Pauatahanui Inlet.

Detective Sergeant Glenn Barnett said an eastbound Subaru Impreza driven by a 22-year-old lost control on a corner and crossed the centre line into the path of a Subaru Legacy. The 22-year-old driver is in hospital with serious injuries.

The deceased pair were passengers in the Impreza. Her three-year-old daughter suffered bruising.

A teenager from the Legacy was also in hospital with serious injuries, and a 19-year-old mother was in a critical condition.

“At this point in time, it is too early to comment on any of the factors to the crash or whether any charges will be laid”.

Mr Barnett said police were examining the scene and both vehicles. .
