Grieving Bay of Plenty father wants meth off streets 7 May, 2021 07:00 PM 4 minutes to read Ron Gray's son Jared died after crashing his car on Tuesday, May 4. ''It all started with meth.''

A police spokesman said yesterday an investigation into the crash was ongoing. Ron Gray, in an interview with the Rotorua Daily Post Weekend, talked about his 35-year-old son's life, saying Jared was a ''hearty young fella'' but one who had battled a meth addiction.
