Logs were strewn around the underpass.

One part of a logging truck has flipped on the Hemo Roundabout leaving Rotorua.

A Rotorua Daily Post reporter at the scene said the back trailer of the logging truck had flipped and there were logs scattered on the roundabout.

He said a section of the roundabout was blocked but traffic was still flowing and police were at the scene.
