A crane was used for the tricky task to recover the car from the bush
Today's early morning fatal car crash on Scenic Drive in the West's Waitakere Ranges proved a lengthy job for members of our Brigade. A car had left the road ploughing through bush, ending upside down, buried in the undergrowth. The driver died at the scene. Emergency services personnel worked in swirling fog from time to time. Members assisted with a road block, traffic management and scene safety until police completed their investigations and the vehicle was recovered from the bush using a crane. Scenic Drive reopened after about 5 hours.
