A truck and trailer unit has rolled on the Tauranga Eastern Link, causing delays this afternoon.

Western Bay of Plenty road policing manager Senior Sergeant Ian Campion says the truck and trailed rolled at the roundabout where State Highway 33 and State Highway 2 meet, near Paengaroa, shortly before 4pm.

“A truck and trailer unit travelling from Matata has overturned on the rounabout. No other vehicles were involved and the driver is thankfully uninjured.

“Whilst traffic is able to flow currently, there will be some disruption to traffic flows when the equipment we need to right the truck arrives at the scene.”

Ian is unable to confirm what caused the truck and trailer to roll.

A crane and tow truck have since been dispatched to the scene, but Ian says it could take up 30 minutes for the equipment to arrive and another hour to recover the truck and trailer.

A reporter at the scene says the truck had been transporting a large container, estimated to be about 40ft long.

One lane of the roundabout is blocked, but traffic is moving slowly and traffic management is in place.
