District road policing manager, Inspector Freda Grace, said it was too early to confirm the cause of the crash, but initial indications were that "the BMW has rounded a moderate right hand curve crossing the centreline and colliding with the truck and trailer in the eastbound lane."
The collision is under investigation by both the Waikato Serious Crash and Commercial Vehicle Investigation Units.
