The driver of the light truck received serious injuries as a result. He had to be cut free by the Fire and Emergency New Zealand Team before being stabilised by paramedics before being flown to Waikato Hospital in a serious condition.
His passenger was taken by road ambulance to Waikato Hospital. The people in the other car were uninjured.
