13 injured in Hamilton crash

Just before 1pm today there was a serious two vehicle crash on State Highway 1 at Hampton Downs.

There were 13 people in the vehicles who were treated by Ambulance staff. One person was airlifted by the Waikato Rescue Helicopter to Waikato Hospital with serious injuries.

The state highway is down to one lane in each direction and will be for some time. Police ask that people use alternate routes, or if travelling through the area to be patient and expect delays.

The cause of the crash is unknown at this stage and the Waikato Serious Crash Unit are investigating.

Police urge all drivers to drive to the conditions and allow extra space during wet weather to allow for reaction time.

Please remember that mistakes do happen, but if all drivers are making allowances for them then the consequences of mistake will be much less.
