Truck rolls, blocks SH16 north of Helensville

A truck has rolled north of Helensville, spilling diesel and woodchip and completely blocking the Kaipara Coast Highway.

Diversions are in place along Rautawhiri Road at Helensville onto Inland Road back onto the Kaipara coast road (SH16) at the northern end.

Police said the driver of the truck and trailer unit had suffered minor injuries.

Inspector Kerry Watson said heavy haulage equipment was needed to remove the truck from the road.
