A car carrier laden with vehicles careened into a building, narrowly avoiding oncoming traffic, after it drove over a large boulder which then got stuck under it.
A police spokeswoman said the car carrier was on Napier's Main North Rd just past Bayview at 6am when it ran over a large limestone boulder which had come down on to the road in a recent rockfall.
The boulder became wedged under the truck with the driver losing control of all steering, she said.
