A driver of a mini tanker full of diesel had a lucky escape after a collision between her tanker and an unladen logging truck.
The crash happened at the intersection of Boundary Rd and Pukeroa Rd in the Kaingaroa Forest this morning.
Northern fire communications shift manager Scott Osmond said six fire appliances from both Rotorua and Taupo were sent, although some were turned back before arriving at the scene.
Taupo fire station officer John Gradwell said the woman who was driving the mini tanker had a lucky escape.
He said the site of the crash was about 40 minutes in on forestry roads and it took "a long time" for help to get there.
