Emergency services are at the scene of a two-truck crash in the Bay of Plenty.
A motorist near the accident on State Highway 29 in the lower Kaimai Ranges said a truck had failed to take a bend in the road and went up a bank.
Another truck travelling behind
couldn't stop in time and crashed into the truck, pushing it down the bank.
The driver was initially trapped in their vehicle, but a Fire and Emergency spokesman told the Herald they had since been freed.
A St John's spokesperson said one person had been taken by ambulance to Tauranga Hospital with critical injuries.
