    A horror 24 hours on Horowhenua roads

    A horror 24 hours on Horowhenua roads


    This morning has seen two more crashes - after two separate fatal incidents yesterday.

    Early this morning, a car transporter truck rolled off the road near the Whirokino Bridge in Foxton.

    State Highway One is closed to allow for a vehicle recovery operation.

    About an hour ago a car and truck crashed north of Otaki.

    Emergency services are at the scene - and there are no reported injuries at this stage.

    Yesterday, one person died in a two-car crash at Ohau near Levin, which left three others seriously injured

    Another person died after a car and a truck crashed at Manakau.

    It's understood Levin police will be issuing a special media release shortly about the unprecedented number of crashes in such a short time.
