A person was killed when a truck transporting a car and a 4WD towing a trailer collided on a notoriously dangerous one-way bridge in Ahipara last night.
Ahipara fire chief Dave Ross said his brigade was called alongside police to Roma Rd, near the coastline, around 9.48pm.
“The bridge was completely jammed. You couldn’t get through.”
Police confirmed one person had died at the scene.
