Lewis Pass Road is blocked following a truck crash earlier this evening.
Police were alerted about 7.15pm, after a truck and trailer unit overturned between Rogers Crescent and Hanmer Springs Rd.
The driver received minor-to-moderate injuries, but the highway will be closed for some time while the crash scene is cleared.
Emergency services will be trialling letting small vehicle past via a single lane through the grass, however motorists should expect significant delays.
