Inspector Wayne Ewers, Northland road policing manager, said the three vehicle collision happened about 1.30pm todayat the intersection of State Highway 14 and Whatitiri Rd, Maungatapere.
Mr
Ewers said a double cab ute had indicated to turn right into Whatitiri Rd and stopped to give way to a fully laden logging truck travelling in the opposite direction.
It's believed the ute was clipped from behind and then spun into the path of the oncoming loaded logging truck.
