A person has died after a petrol tanker rolled on State Highway 5 near Whakarewarewa around 2am on Friday.
The highway remains closed with diversions in place at the northern and southern ends of SH5, police say.
Drivers should expect delays.
Contractors would be clearing debris and fuel spilt across the highway on Friday morning.
