South Auckland Triple
17 December 2016
The two vehicles became fused on impact: they had to prised apart.

There were 3 calls at once tonight, all in South Auckland, all motor vehicle accidents. Some of our members attended all 3. The first was in Hill Road, Manurewa, where a car collided with a power pole, bringing down the pole and live wires. Members assisted with road closures until the scene was made safe. The second was in Kaka Street, Otahuhu, a two car collision which blocked the busy through-road until the vehicles could be removed and debris cleared. Mill Road, Totara Park, was the venue for the third accident where two late-model vehicles collided. A total of 7 people were taken to hospital from the scene. The impact of the head-on crash resulted in a tangled wreckage of engine parts which meant the vehicles had to be forced apart before being salvaged. Members assisted with road blocks at Redoubt Road and Ranfurly Road and with scene safety.
