Truck rolls on Bluff Highway.

John from East Invercargill

A crash near Nightcaps has someone flown to Dunedin which follows two separate crashes resulting in two deaths , one in Riverton and the other on the Bluff Highway. Any crash that causes injury and worst of all a death , is a tragedy for everyone that it affects . However I just want to focus on one point that I have mentioned elsewhere previously.
That is the cycle/ walking track to Bluff. I have done it several times and did so on Saturday just past. It is a brilliant track and I have thanked all those involved , many personally as I rode past and stopped for a chat and in print. There is one massive concern I have with the close proximity to the highway in many places from the Phosphate works down . Although a massive improvement from the suicide mission of attempting to ride on the road my biggest fear is that someone risks being killed in an accident such as a truck rolling over and onto the track or as I saw when the track was nearing completion , a car that had been heading to Invercargill buried in the shrubbery outside the Phosphate works after crossing the road and over the track . Many may have not seen it as they drove past but had someone been in the wrong spot when it crossed the road it would have been the last thing they would have ever seen. That track has been sealed from the Phosphate works all the way to Bluff and is a brilliant addition which I would love to see family groups enjoy on a sunny day which they should but it doesn't need an unfortunate incident to mar all the good .
