Police have this evening
recovered a vehicle from the Buller River.
A search
for the vehicle had been under way since shortly before 5pm
yesterday, following reports that a car had been seen
leaving the road on the Lower Buller Gorge Road.
Police have also recovered the body of a man, believed
to be the sole occupant of the car.
Formal
identification is yet to take place and we do not expect to
be able to provide any further information tonight.
