Summary
Police are sounding the alarm after a terrifying incident on the Waikato Expressway where a person was spotted walking in the middle of the road at night—just as cars zoomed by at 110 km/h. Fifteen witnesses called it in, helping authorities locate the individual and get them safely to Huntly station. Inspector Andrew Mortimore called it a miracle no one was killed, warning that such situations are often fatal. He praised the quick-thinking callers and urged everyone to act if they see danger on the road—call 111. A sobering reminder: split-second decisions can save lives.
