Shortly after 8am this morning a truck has collided with a bridge on SH 27 4 to 5 kilometres south of Matamata. This area is known as kneebones bridge.

The road is closed and will be for some hours whilst heavy haulage removes the truck and the road is cleared of diesel.

The driver has head injuries and is being taken to hospital. The truck was carrying empty chicken cages.

Diversions from the North are via Puketuti Road and in the south Taihoa Road from SH 27.

Motorists are warned to avoid this area or face delays
