News Story
There"ve been three call-outs today... 2 motor crashes and a suspected downtown fire. The first accident, around six this morning, was on Great South Road, Penrose, where a vehicle collided with a brick wall near the Penrose Road intersection. Three occupants, apparently uninjured, left the scene before emergency services arrived. The second accident was in Lunn Avenue, Mt Wellington, where mid-afternoon a station wagon collided with a power pole which shattered on impact. This, plus live lines meant members closed the road in the interests of public safety until a traffic management company took over. There was a coincidence at this call. One of our members, Mary Harding, was assigned to point duty directing traffic at the intersection of Lunn Avenue and Harding Avenue. Of all the roads in Auckland, Mary was busy on "her avenue"!
