Secondary Crash In Waikato
A more serious secondary
crash has occurred on the Fisher Road diversion from the
earlier-reported crash. This second crash is believed to
involve a
mini van and a bus.
A woman who was initially
trapped is being treated at the scene for
serious
injuries and a helicopter is en route to
transport her to hospital. Two
other people are reported
to have sustained moderate injuries and are
awaiting
ambulances.
Serious Crash staff are attending.
The crash has effectively stopped all SH1 traffic which is now backed up for an estimated 14kms.
The original crash site on SH1 has been cleared and is being reopened now (1105hrs) however the backlog will take some time to clear.
Once again
police ask motorists to remain patient and take care as
traffic
clears.
