February 5, 2018Police, Politics, PressRelease, SupercityComments Off on Delay for two hours at least at truck crash scene – Manakau
Police and emergency services are still at the scene of a crash between a truck and trailer and a car on SH1 near Levin that happened just before 8am.
The truck is still stuck partially hanging over the rail bridge and a heavy haulage tow has just arrived at the scene.
The driver of the southbound car has been airlifted to Palmerston North hospital in a critical condition.
Preliminary indications show that a northbound truck and trailer unit collided with a south bound car on the rail overbridge at Ohau.
There are no detours, so traffic near the scene will have a two or more hour wait for emergency services to clear the scene.
There is no alternative route and Police are aware that there is a tail north-bound stretching to Ohau and the south bound stream of cars is backed up to Otaki at least.

Award-winning external USB DAC and headphone amplifier now ships with a bundled Op-Amp swap kit, allowing audiophiles greater sound characteristic modification
The ASUS Xonar Essence One external digital-analog converter (DAC) and headphone amplifier earned considerable critical acclaim, winning a 2012 CES Innovations Award in the audio component category with the industry’s only 8x symmetrical upsampling. The newly-launched ASUS Xonar Essence One Plus Edition further adds a bundled Op-Amp swap kit with six extensively-tested Op-Amps to make sound characteristic tuning easier out of the box, with no soldering required. It also saves customers the need to purchase Op-Amps separately.
Op-Amps serve a critical role in audio hardware, amplifying analog signals and determining tone and timbre characteristics. Dedicated audiophiles often choose to change Op-Amps to fine-tune performance, something the original Xonar Essence One supported with its eleven swappable Op-Amps. This feature proved highly popular, leading the Xonar team to extensively test over a hundred different Op-Amps with the original Xonar Essence One in order to check for a wide audio tuning range. The six Op-Amps deemed most unique in their impact on sound character were selected to be part of the Xonar Essence One Plus Edition, the first USB DAC with a bundled Op-Amp swap kit. By combining the original Texas Instruments TI-NE5532 Op-Amps with four Texas Instruments TI-OPA2132PA and two NS-LM4562NA Op-Amps, the special edition allows for five unique tonal impression customization options. The kit even includes an IC clamp, a screw driver, and an Op-Amp swap guide which shares various Op-Amp tips based on the Xonar team’s findings. These make swapping any of the existing eleven Op-Amps easy for quick audio modification based on personal preference. The kit further offers compatibility with other Xonar products, including the Xonar Essence ST/STX, Xonar Xense, and Xonar DS/DSX.
