■ Another traffic crash took place at the intersection of SH2 and Dean Crescent. A car travelling south crossed the centre line and crashed into a campervan heading north. The two occupants from the car sustained moderate injuries and were hospitalised. Driver fatigue is believed to be a factor but police are investigating.
