Emergency services struggled to get to the injured after a six-vehicle pile-up on a wire-barriered section of the Hawke's Bay Expressway in peak-hour traffic.
Six people were injured – one seriously and five moderately – during the crash in foggy conditions near Greenmeadows about 8.17am Monday.
A dashcam video from another driver on State Highway 2 at the time showed a concrete truck crashing into the back of a car with significant force, shunting it into a ute in front.
