Video: Traffic nightmare for Labour Weekend travellers after truck crash in the Coromandel causes long delays

October 23, 2017

Holidaymakers heading home from the Coromandel this afternoon can expect long delays after a truck crash caused road closures earlier today.

Police released a statement shortly before 3pm warning drivers that there are long tailbacks on SH25A – Kopu-Hikuai Rd, Coromandel.

The traffic is backed up many kilometres from the coast to Thames, it is expected that the long weekend traffic will take some time to clear, police said.

1 NEWS NOW also received drone footage from Warkworth's notorious Hill St intersection showing a long line of traffic that may delay those heading back to Auckland.

Motorists are advised to take care with thunderstorms forecast for much of the country this afternoon.
