Two staff members from Pitzac Wood Enterprises extracted a man from his vehicle after a crash on Taupo Quay extension this afternoon.
The man crossed the centre line heading towards Castlecliff, before crashing through some foliage and landing upside down on the railway tracks.
Train drivers were temporarily told to
stay put while emergency services attended the scene.
A Gonville resident who wanted to remain anonymous said he heard screeching brakes, skidding and then a crash.
"There were two Pitzac guys down there. They got him out and he was walking," the man said.
