A truck driver suffered serious facial injuries after his
vehicle rolled at a roundabout and struck a power pole in
Hamilton this morning.
The truck and trailer unit crashed at the intersection of
State Highway 1 and Morrinsville Rd, by the Hillcrest
shopping centre, about 5.30am, Hamilton police spokesman
Andrew McAlley said.
The driver was cut from the cab and taken to Waikato Hospital
with serious facial injuries.
The southbound lane of SH1 was closed to all but one lane of
traffic, while northbound traffic was still flowing slowly.
The road would be closed to all southbound traffic while
emergency services removed the truck, which had been carrying
one empty container.
Motorists would be diverted to SH26 towards Morrinsville.
