Police are investigating the cause of a two-truck collision South of Whanganui on Wednesday.
The driver of one of the trucks made a miraculous escape with only minor injuries when his cab was sheared from its axle.
Police said State Highway Three between Bulls and Turakina reopened at 4.30pm after diversions were put in place shortly after midday.
"According to our logs, both drivers sustained minor injuries but there are no further details on this," police said.
