First a truck and trailer unit crashed into a power pole in Otaki, closing the highway in both directions.
The incident happened just before 5pm at the Mill Road roundabout.
It took more than an-hour-and-a-half for the road to reopen.
Then, about an hour later at 8pm, a scrub fire broke out on the hill at Pukerua Bay.
State Highway One was closed with traffic having to detour over the Paekakariki Hill Road.
The road was cleared around 10pm.
