New Zealand police are some of the world's most thorough when it comes to investigating vehicle accidents.
That from the Clive Matthew-Wilson, editor of popular motoring website DogandLemon.com
A section of the state highway north of Taupo took more than eight hours to reopen this morning, after a fatal crash involving a car and two trucks around 1.30am.
Mr Matthew-Wilson says while people want things moving as soon as possible investigating takes time.
He says most police overseas take a couple of photos then clear the accident scene to get traffic flowing.
