Two people are hurt and State Highway 6 is closed in the Gibbston Valley following a two-vehicle collision in Otago today.
A police spokeswoman said they were called to the crash between Chard and Resta roads about 12.55pm.
She said it appeared two people had been injured in the crash but the seriousness of their injuries was not known.
The road is fully blocked, she said.
The NZ Transport Agency put out an alert saying the road was closed between Crown Range Rd and Pearson Rd.
Motorists were advised to delay their journey or take an alternative route.
A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman said one crew from Arrowtown was at the scene assisting police and ambulance.
No-one was trapped or needed to be extricated from their vehicle, he said.
Source of the 'really unpleasant' noise has been identified, but a fix is some time away.
