Emergency services are at the scene of a serious two-vehicle crash in the Waipā District.

Emergency services are at the scene of a serious two-vehicle crash in the Waipā District.

One person has died after a serious crash involving a truck and car in the Waipā district today.

Emergency services were called to the scene on Cambridge Rd, between Storey and Cox Roads, at about 11.25am.

“Despite the best efforts of first responders, the driver of the car died at the scene. Police are providing support to the person’s family,” police said.

The section of Cambridge Rd remained closed and the Serious Crash Unit was carrying out a scene examination.

Earlier today, Waikato Herald reported one person was trapped after a serious two-vehicle crash.

Fire and Emergency New Zealand responded with two fire trucks. Upon arrival they found one person trapped in one vehicle and worked to extricate them.

Hato Hone St John said two ambulances, one rapid response vehicle and one helicopter had been sent to the scene.
