"Canterbury - SH73, Canterbury"

1053Hrs

The crash on the West Coast Road at about 0914 hrs on 15/8/13 involved a Ute towing a trailer. The trailer has become uncoupled and veered off the road striking a person on the side of the road.

The crash occurred on the town side of Christchurch Mens prison and did not involve anyone from the prison.

One person has been taken to hospital in a serious condition.

Diversions are still in place but it is hoped the road will be open in approximately 1 hour but there may be reduced speed restrictions in the area beyond that while the scene investigation continues.
