One other person was also killed and will be named at a later date. In a statement from the family, they say they are devastated by the young father's death, who was also a promising rugby player. He represented New Zealand Māori under 18s and was playing for a New South Wales country team last year before returning home. "We can't believe he is gone. We are in a state of shock and our hearts are broken," the family said.
