A New Zealand man killed in a car crash in France was just weeks away from his wedding, according to a social media post.
Beau St George, 33, was identified as the Kiwi killed when in a head-on crash on a stretch of road between Valensole and Manosque in the Alpes-de-Haute Provence in the area known as "Le Bois de L'Ours".
In a social media post his mum Liz St Geoge said: "We're all devastated with the loss of our beautiful son Beau in a car accident in France yesterday. Just a few short weeks before his wedding to the love of his life. We're all thinking of you Herminie and your beautiful baby, now without a dad."
A Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman said the ministry was aware of the death of a New Zealand citizen in France.
Multiple local French news websites are reporting the death in a head-on crash between two cars shortly before 6am on Thursday (local time).
The man, reported to be the driver, died despite efforts by emergency services to resuscitate him.
Local media reported the accident happened in an area prone to accidents.
French police were unable to say at this stage what caused the accident.
French media reported the driver of the other car, a local man also 33, received minor injuries and was transported to Manosque Hospital.
