A person has been dragged out through the smashed front window of his semitrailer on Auckland’s northwestern motorway after the vehicle rolled onto the median barrier leaving soil strewn across the road.
Emergency services were called to the scene near Westgate Shopping Mall at 4.40pm today.
A witness said it appeared the truck had lost its load of soil when it mounted the median barrier.
There were two people in the truck. A Fire and Emergency spokesman confirmed one person was trapped.
“We stabilised the vehicle and removed the windscreen to get access to the patient, who we extricated,” he said.
