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.
- Motorists travelling between Christchurch and Blenheim should delay travel or use an inland route through Lewis Pass. The inland route will add around two hours to travel time.

Through the programme, he discovered his passion for the viticulture industry and was able to secure a cadetship opportunity with the help of his mentors and programme coordinator.
Now, almost six months into his job, he feels more confident and is grateful for the support he has received. Jack encourages other young people if given the opportunity to take the course and give things a go.
