A New Zealand worker died in a 2022 crash caused by fatigue, prompting warnings for shift workers to plan rest breaks.
A 27-year-old New Zealand night shift worker, Scania Rangi Te Whare, died in a 2022 head-on crash with a school bus after crossing the center line while fatigued.
The coroner found the crash could have been prevented, attributing it to driver fatigue, including microsleeps lasting three to five seconds.
Fatigue, not just falling asleep, impaired his ability, with symptoms like weariness and lapses in focus.
The coroner stressed that caffeine or turning up the radio only offer temporary relief; the only effective remedy is sleep.
She warned shift workers are at higher risk due to disrupted sleep patterns and urged drivers to plan rest breaks, especially near home, where many fatigue-related crashes occur.
