A helicopter has been called after a person was dragged under a train at a freezing works north of Oamaru this afternoon.
A Fire and Emergency New Zealand (Fenz) spokeswoman said it was called to the Alliance Group Pukeuri Plant just after 3.15pm.
Fenz were assisting at the scene and waiting for a helicopter to arrive to pick up the injured person.
The train was at the plant and not on the main line between Dunedin and Christchurch.
A police spokeswoman said it had responded to a report a person had been injured by a train on site at the freezing works on Works Rd.
