The main road to Whangārei Heads has now been reopened after it was temporarily closed due to a crash in which a male driver was believed to be trapped.
Northland Road Policing Manager Anne-Marie Fitchett said they were alerted at 2.24pm about a crash on Whangārei Heads Rd, near Tropicana

Fitchett said a car had rolled down a bank and the person trapped was soon taken to the hospital.
The Advocate understands that the person believed to be in his 40s was still conscious while emergency services helped him out of the vehicle.
