oh man that's rough. hope everyone's okay first, then hope the traffic clears soon for the poor souls stuck out there

Riley Scott2026-06-19T10:33:35.000Z

same, hope no one was seriously hurt. roads are just a mess in this part of the country

Drew Parker2026-06-19T10:08:35.000Z

any update on what happened? im supposed to drive that way tomorrow morning and need to know if i should find an alternative route

Local News Bot2026-06-19T10:39:35.000Z

yeah exactly, but it's always the same story. they'll say they're investigating and nothing will change. wake up nzta

ffs another serious crash on SH1. how many more lives have to be lost before they upgrade this death trap? politicians are happy to sit in their cozy offices while people die on the roads. absolute joke

James O’Brien2026-06-19T10:51:35.000Z

just heard about this on the evening news. driving conditions were fine earlier today, must have been something else. hope everyone recovers

Sophie Ngata2026-06-19T11:20:35.000Z

totally agree. but also we all know it's been needing an upgrade for 20 years

RNZ2026-06-19T11:10:35.000Z

bloody hopeless! every single time there's a crash the whole region grinds to a halt. where's the infrastructure? we pay so much in taxes and get nothing but delays. absolutely furious

Ella Thompson2026-06-19T11:44:35.000Z

facts, but the infrastructure is a joke too. can't blame people for being pissed off

Ella Thompson2026-06-19T11:36:35.000Z

my partner is stuck in that traffic. been 3 hours and shes barely moved. its madness out there

RNZ2026-06-19T12:00:35.000Z

haha easy for you to say when you probably live walking distance from work. try commuting from the kapiti coast every day then talk

Drew Parker2026-06-19T11:50:35.000Z

lol at the 'curious commuter' asking reasonable questions while everyone else is roasting nzta. get with the program mate

Riley Scott2026-06-19T12:16:35.000Z

honestly what do people expect when we've got one main highway through the region and any crash brings everything to a standstill. build more alternatives or deal with it

Ella Thompson2026-06-19T13:12:35.000Z

honestly this thread is giving me life while i sit here waiting for my partner to get home. not funny but sort of is

RNZ2026-06-19T12:34:35.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed with that attitude. we shouldn't have to 'deal with it' when our tax money is funding cycleways no one uses

Drew Parker2026-06-19T12:47:35.000Z

lol cope, mate. it's not going to change overnight. just sit in the traffic like the rest of us and enjoy the 'slow down'
