Police warn of ice on Taranaki Roads
Police are warning motorists across Taranaki to be extremely cautious on the roads this morning following a number of crashes caused by ice on the road.
There have been four car crashes in the area since 5am due to the conditions.
Motorists need to take extreme care when driving across Taranaki this morning. Any patches of the road which appear wet will likely be ice and should be treated as such.
Police are also advising people to check their vehicles and tyres are roadworthy and ensure all windows are completely clear of ice before getting behind the wheel.
At around 5:15am a car rolled on Mawhitiwhiti Road in Okaiawa, the woman driver has been taken to hospital via ambulance to be checked over.
At approximately 6:35am a vehicle crashed into a fence on Broadway in Stratford and rolled onto its side. The male driver is being checked over by ambulance.
As well as this, Police received a report that two cars had crashed off South Road, at Tokaora, after hitting ice. One ended up in a ditch, the other in a paddock. Neither driver was injured.
