Seafood truck crash on State Highway 6
A truck and trailer carrying seafood crashed on the main highway between Nelson and Blenheim yesterday.
A police spokeswoman said they were notified of a single-vehicle crash on State Highway 6 on Collins Valley Rd, between Opouri and Kokorua roads, at 1.34pm.
The truck and trailer unit had rolled into a roadside barrier on the northern side of the Rai Saddle.
The Nelson Mail understands that the truck was carrying 15 tonnes of mussels.
The road was down to one lane, and motorists were advised to expect delays.
St John communications advisor Gerard Campbell said an ambulance was called but had been stood down, as the job was classified as noninjury. Fire and Emergency NZ was also responding to the incident.
