Crate Day Gone Sideways — Melanie Kerr’s Dunedin King-Hit, Gangs & Grace Under Fire

On NZ’s infamous Crate Day, a routine
sober-driver night flips fast. Broadcaster/funeral celebrant
Melanie Kerr recounts how a friendly lift
request turned into a mongrel mob confrontation,
a king-hit that knocked her partner unconscious,
and a street-side triage while waiting for police clearance. We
get the wild backstory (a stolen Uber, a cop’s party, and a
shirt-off metamorphosis), the sound of a skull on
bitumen, and the aftermath: hospitals, court calls, and
the eerie coincidence of a memorial post for another victim tied
to the same offender. Mel also shares a later run-in at a rugby
club—defusing tension with a hug… and a Justin
Bieber gag. Heavy yarn, big heart, and a masterclass in
staying human when it gets feral.
