Truckies are being advised to take a break due to a trailer overturning on a diversion route that was set up following a fatal crash on SH1 in Putaruru earlier this evening.
Diversions are on Main Street, Princess Street and Lichfield Road after one person died following a collision involving two cars at about 6pm.
After 9pm, Police were advised that a trailer had overturned on Lichfield Rd – part of the diversion route.
That route is now down to one lane, and only passable by cars.
Truckies are advise to sit it out until the first crash scene is cleared, potentially within the hour.
