A four car crash on the Waikato Expressway at Rangiriri has left one person seriously injured on Saturday afternoon, police say.
The collision involving three vehicles including a van on State Highway 1 was reported shortly before 5pm in the southbound lane, a police spokeswoman said.
It happened at Rangiriri, a little over halfway from Auckland to Hamilton, between Rodda Rd and the Te Wharepu Rd off-ramp. One person was seriously injured, the spokeswoman said.
A Fire and Emergency NZ communications shift supervisor said one person was freed from a wreck using rescue tools.
“They were heavily trapped,” the supervisor said.
