Members were involved in a long-duration job on Te Atatu Road this morning following a collision about 5am between a car and a milk delivery truck on a bend near the Roberts Road shops. The driver of the car died at the scene. Our brigade assisted with lighting, illuminating the scene while the driver was extricated by firefighters. We also assisted with crowd control and traffic management - the road was closed while police investigated the cause of the accident. Other members took the mobile canteen to the scene so breakfast could be served to emergency workers. Then came the clean-up of hundreds of milk bottles, some ruptured, plus dozens of milk crates that had fallen from the upturned delivery truck.
