A jackknifed truck that ended up blocking two lanes on Auckland’s Northern Motorway was forced to take evasive action after being cut off by another vehicle.
The truck’s owner StraitNZ said one of its vehicles was involved in an incident this morning.
“Our driver was not injured, and we’re not aware of injuries to any other motorists. We’ll be working with our driver to complete an investigation into the incident.”
New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) said the vehicle that was blocking lanes in both directions has been cleared, but motorists should expect delays traveling southbound into the city, and drivers should allow extra time for delays in the area to ease.
Earlier, the truck had been straddling the central barrier of the motorway between Northcote and Esmonde Rds.
