A motorist temporarily blinded by sun-strike crashed into the back of a slow moving truck and trailer unit today, leaving him with spinal injuries and lacerations.
The 48-year-old's vehicle hit the trailer as it was being pulled up the hill near Te Pohue on the Napier-Taupo Road late this afternoon.
He was flown by Lowe Corporation Rescue Helicopter to Hawke's Bay Regional Hospital for treatment.
