A truck that was left hanging over a bridge near Levin following an accident has been cleared, allowing State Highway 1 to re-open.
The crash happened on the Manakau Rail Overbridge, between Otaki and Levin, at about 8am on Monday.
The truck was stuck partially hanging over the rail bridge and a heavy haulage truck was needed to tow it off.
The driver of the southbound car was airlifted to Palmerston North hospital in a critical condition.
