Milk tanker goes off road

DETAILS are sketchy following a crash which involved a milk tanker trailer going off the carriageway and through a farm fence in Gadsby Rd, Te Kūiti, on Thursday afternoon.

  Police and the fire service were apparently not notified of the incident, which blocked the road about a kilometre up from the main highway for more than an hour.

  The tanker was pumped out and pulled back onto the road. Workers at the crash site appeared to have things well under control when this picture was taken.

  In an email to the King Country News yesterday, the Fonterra communications team said:

  “We are aware that the rear wheels of a Fonterra tanker rolled off an embankment on a narrow road near Te Kūiti on Thursday, September 28. There were no injuries to the driver or community and no milk spilled during the incident.”
