This driver thought "Road Closed" didn't apply to him... SH7 Totara Flat
This road didnt need a sign saying it was closed, the water was 3 metres deep... Stillwater.
Road Closed doesnt apply to truckers... SH7 Totara Flat
I spent some time helping Police with rescues at Totara Flat where they were dogged with problems...
The bridge to Waikiti Downs Station in the Ahura Valley, Westland, was destroyed by a flash flood
yesterday minutes after the school bus passed over it, the driver and pupils stopped after crossing the bridge
to watch the flood and witnessed the bridge being destroyed.... in seconds.
I am the only cameraman to reach the scene.... as usual.
