Mangatāwhiri crash: State Highway 2 reopens, one dead after two-vehicle collision
One person has died after a late-night crash near the border of Auckland and Waikato, which temporarily closed a stretch of State Highway 2.
According to police, emergency services were called to the scene involving two vehicles in Mangatāwhiri about 11.10pm.
“Upon arrival, one person was sadly located deceased,” police said.
“Inquiries into the crash remain ongoing.”
A section of SH2, between Koheroa Rd and the SH1 intersection, was closed early this morning as the Serious Crash Unit completed its scene examination.
It was reopened just after 9.30am, NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) said.
Koheroa Rd, which serves as a detour route between SH1 and SH2, has also reopened after being closed earlier.
