NZ Herald Morning News Update | Plea for clarity on new immigration laws and Carter Holt Harvey confirms Eves Valley sawmill closure.

Police are investigating CCTV footage after an incident left one person critically injured and two others with serious injuries in Hastings this morning.

Emergency services including Hato Hone St John were called to the incident on Omahu Rd about 2.20am and the road was closed between the SH2 roundabout and Stoneycroft St shortly afterwards.

Motorists should expect delays and take alternative routes.

The road is expected to remain closed until later today.

A worker at a nearby business, who did not wish to be named, said police had come into the business asking for CCTV footage.

Police had told them they expected the road to remain closed until about noon, the worker said.

Two ambulances and one rapid response vehicle were called to the scene, a Hato Hone St John spokesperson said.

More to come.
