One person has died after a three-vehicle collision in Waikato earlier today.
Police were alerted to the crash on Paeroa Kopu Rd (SH26) at Komata about 3.32pm.
“Police can now confirm one person has died,” a spokesperson said in a statement this evening.
“Motorists are asked to continue to avoid the area as diversions are in place.”
A St John spokesperson said earlier that three ambulances and a helicopter responded to the scene of the crash.
“Our ambulance crews have treated two patients, one in a minor condition and the other in a moderate condition.
“The patient in moderate condition [was] airlifted to Waikato Hospital.”
