Yep saw the chaos on SH2 this morning from the office window. Be careful out there chaps, those roads are greasy and the cars are closing up the gaps.

You have received this email because you signed up for CommCens Alerts on the NZ Police website.

The attending officers advised Comms that the injured party appeared to be Status 3 on arrival. That's a shitload better than Status 1. Hope they are okay, I went through 40 minutes later & saw no signs of an accident.

Was almost involved in that one...it was a tail-to-tail after the ute next to me locked up to avoid the original two car nose to tail, and hit two more on his way thru backwards...and the truck coming/merging out of Horokiwi, that caused the slow up that lead to accedent just kept on truckin'....

seconded on rider status.
