A crash has closed SH1
State Highway 1 in Marlborough is expected to be closed for several hours after a truck and trailer carrying 10 tonnes of grapes rolled early Thursday morning.
A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesperson said the driver suffered moderate injuries.”We had a truck and trailer on its side blocking both lanes. The load was 10 tonnes of grapes, and we were working with police and ambulance on a status three patient, he wasn’t trapped in the vehicle,” he said.
What you need to know:
- The crash happened south of Blenheim, at the bottom of Weld Pass, on a 45kph bend about 7.15am.
- The incident happened on the Seddon side of Weld Pass, was reported shortly before 8am and no local detours were available.
- The highway is expected to be closed for several hours while the crash scene is cleared.
