A truck has crashed and closed the highway south of Murchison.
Police were called to reports of a truck crash on Four Rivers Highway/SH6, Murchison, at around 9am this morning.
A police spokesperson says the driver has minor injuries.
The road is closed as the truck is blocking both lanes. There is no access between Murchison and the West Coast, or between Murchison and Springs Junction.
NZTA says no suitable local road detours are available. Drivers are asked to avoid the area and delay their travel until the crash is cleared and the highway is reopened.
"We thank motorists for their patience," the spokesperson say.
