A truck that caught fire early this morning, is causing traffic delays on State Highway 27 near Morrinsville.
Emergency services were called to the scene just after 3am this morning, where they found a truck and trailer were well alight, northern fire communications shift manager Steve Smith said.
The truck remained smouldering this morning, and the truck driver had not been injured in the accident.
Police said one lane had since been re-opened to traffic, but advised motorists of delays.
