SH 1 closed after Northland crash, power lines down

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A crash that has occurred near Raumanga Valley Rd in Whangarei this morning has closed the road and downed power lines.

"Expect diversions and delays," the transport agency tweeted.
"Avoid this route if possible." Keep up to date with their twitter feed here.

Cordons were in place at Otaika Rd on SH1 and at Tawera Rd and Collingwood Rd, NZTA said.

Heavy vehicles would need to use SH14 and SH15 via Maungatapere to rejoin SH1, it added.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
