A Whangarei road extensively used by logging trucks was yesterday blocked for nearly two hours after a trailer unit rolled and spilled a load of logs.
A fully laden truck and trailer unit was travelling along Otaika Valley Rd heading towards State Highway 1 when the trailer went out of control and rolled about 10am.
Whangarei police Acting Sergeant John Pickering said it appeared the incident happened at a quick succession of corners.
Logs had spilled across the road and up a bank, but the truck unit had remained upright.
"Fortunately there was no other traffic on the road at the tie and no one was injured," Mr Pickering said.
