Four people have been injured after a crash between a truck and two cars on an Auckland highway this afternoon.
Police went to the crash at the intersection of State Highway 16 and Brigham Creek Rd at Whenuapai in Auckland’s Northwest about 1.40pm.
Images from the scene show a black ute sitting sideways across the road with heavy front-end damage and its front passenger-side wheel buckled.
A green box truck is stopped immediately behind the ute, while another damaged car has left the road and come to rest in roadside bushes.
A Hato Hone St John spokesman said two patients were taken to North Shore Hospital in a moderate condition.
Another two people with minor injuries did not require hospital treatment.
A Fire and Emergency New Zealand shift manager said two fire trucks were sent and no one was trapped.
Meanwhile, further down the North Island, another truck has been involved in a crash.
NZTA warned online State Highway 28 at Te Poi, Waikato was blocked in both directions after a logging truck rolled.
The incident happened about 5pm near the intersection with Brown Rd.
“Follow the directions of emergency services and use an alternative route if possible,” NZTA advised.
