They were Kareen Marie Malcolm and James Lennon Malcolm, both of Invercargill and both aged 61.

James died at the scene and Kareen later in Dunedin Hospital.

A month ago, another man died after a crash on the same stretch of road.

Both collisions involved milk tankers.

Police are still investigating the latest crash.
