Ian McKinnon Drive seems to have more than its share of accidents. The long wide slopes appear to encourage speeding, and the unusual layout of the side roads doesn't help.Here the local emergency services, aided by the Auckland HazMat unit, deal with a messy multiple-car accident below the Newton Road overpass. The road was closed in both directions until the resulting oil slick could be cleaned up.More details coming soon...17 July, 2007Ian McKinnon Drive & Newton RoadEden TerraceAuckland, New ZealandDisclaimer:This YouTube channel is in no way associated with any of the organisations portrayed.

Dec 5, 2008 - Awesome video!2:40, errr yes, a more visible cordon required lol!

thekiwicanuck Says:

Dec 5, 2008 - Thanks, LOL, you could totally see it coming! The cones were in the shadows, and the drivers were all looking ahead at the flashing lights or at the cars directly in front of them. So I set the camera running, and only had to wait a few seconds for the inevitable to happen. You can see why there's so many accidents there.

Dec 5, 2008 - lol @ ice cream van!nice vid mate. im assuming you have some sort of connection to fire service or something due to the good knowledge of the appliances and all your other vids?

thekiwicanuck Says:

Dec 5, 2008 - Thanks!Nah, no connection other than knowing/being related to a few ex-firefighters. I just take my fire-buffing and photography seriously. Besides, there's enough info out there on the net that you can sound like you now what you're talkig about when you haven't really got a clue! XDStand by for vids of Condi's convoy, I got some good ones!

Dec 5, 2008 - And I'm thoroughly ashamed of myself... There's an ancient Daihatsu and a Bedford van I've seen around, but its too hard to tell from behind. I'll make sure I check next time, LOL!
