Updated 4.10pm: The police goal of zero road fatalities over the holiday weekend has been missed already.
One person has been killed in a collision between a logging truck and a car in Bay of Plenty this morning.
Police say a 32-year-old woman was attempting to do a U-turn when her vehicle was struck by a logging truck outside Te Puke.
The crash happened around 7.30am on State Highway 2 between Pah Road and Rangiuru Road, near Te Puke.
The truck driver was not injured.
The road is now open to traffic in both directions, but there's heavy congestion.
