One person is dead and two others injured after a four-vehicle pile-up on the Hawke’s Bay Expressway in Napier.
A witness said two trucks, a ute and a car were involved in the crash between the Kennedy Rd onramp and Meeanee Rd offramp about 7.50am on Friday.
Both the northbound and southbound lanes of the expressway from the Taradale Rd roundabout to the Meeanee Rd offramp remained closed until late afternoon.
Hato Hone St John said four ambulances, one rapid response unit and one operations manager attended the scene.
