Police are urging people to avoid the Taieri Bridge in Central Otago this morning after a burnt car was found impaled on the bridge.
A police media spokesman said the car was discovered by a motorist about 4.40am today.
The car had been burnt out, hit a guard rail and left impaled on the bridge, the caller told police.
No one was seen with the vehicle which was not hot, so it's presumed the crash happened earlier.
