At 12.30 today - every fire engine , police car, ambulance we have in Waihi sped past my place. even the dog handlers ute! Nothing has come back yet but just now a big heavy wrecker unit from Tauranga went past.
Im guessing that a bus has gone over the edge somewhere. The road appears closed- very few cars have come down from Whangamata in the last hour.

Does anyone know what has happened!?

She had a west coast strut that was as sweet as molases
But what really knocked me out was her cheap sunglasses
