Napier Road/State Highway 3 is closed between Ashhurst and Woodville in Manawatū due to ice.
Police were made aware of a single-vehicle crash on Napier Road around 7.15am, after a vehicle has slid on ice and hit a barrier.
Thankfully, there were no injuries.
The road will remain closed while the ice is being dealt with – it is not expected to reopen for another hour, at least.
Motorists are advised to take alternative routes and expect delays.
