A section of state highway near Wānaka remains blocked this morning after a truck carrying chilled and frozen goods rolled overnight.
Emergency services were called to State Highway 8, between Māori Point Rd and Bells Ln, at around 1.45am following reports that a truck had rolled.
Police said there were no injuries, but the road was blocked.
NZ Transport Agency said SH8/Tarras-Cromwell Rd was blocked. Detouring northbound traffic should turn right onto Ardgour Rd, then turn back onto the highway.
"The reverse applies for southbound traffic," NZTA said.
Police said all of the goods in the truck needed to be unloaded before it could be righted and towed.
NZTA added that contractors were working to unload the truck.
"Once that is done, the rolled truck will then be shifted so that the road can reopen."
