A dashcam video has captured the moment a food trailer flipped over on Auckland’s Northwestern Motorway (SH16), spilling cooking oil and petrol on the road and temporarily closing the key route into the city.
New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi said the motorway was closed eastbound between Wellesley St and Grafton Rd at 3.10pm.
NZTA posted that the motorway reopened at 4.05pm, with delays expected for commuters.
Earlier, Fire and Emergency New Zealand said it was responding to an incident involving a food trailer that had rolled.
