The Labour Weekend holiday road toll stands at two.

One person died on State Highway One near Pokeno just after 4.30 this morning.

Their car hit the median strip and then collided with a truck.

A rider died on the way to hospital following a crash at a street racing event on Herbert Street in Greymouth just before 11 this morning.

Five people died on the road last Labour Weekend.

The toll period extends from four o'clock Friday afternoon to six o'clock Tuesday morning.

A quad bike rolled at Kuratau near Taupo about one o'clock this morning, killing one person and putting a 28-year-old woman in hospital.

A third person was unhurt.

As it occurred off a public road, it's not counted in the toll.
