One of the fatal crashes was along State Highway 2, near the Karangahake Gorge, in Waikato yesterday.
Police were called to the two-car collision near Moresby Rd around 6.30pm.
Two people were injured and one has since died of their injuries, police confirmed today.
Another person has died after a car and cyclist collided in Christchurch yesterday afternoon, at an intersection along Hoon Hay Rd.
