Car and logging truck collide

Emergency services personnel check the remains of a car after it and a truck collided on Dunedin’s Southern Motorway yesterday morning.

The car’s driver was taken to Dunedin Hospital in a moderate condition.

Police said they were notified of the crash in the southbound lane, between the offramp and onramp in Main South Rd, about 11.25am.

Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond said a 26yearold man, the sole occupant of the car, was travelling in the righthand lane and crashed into the centre barrier.

The car then bounced left across the road and collided with the logging truck, causing the car to spin around.
