State Highway 1 between Taupō and Tūrangi has reopened following an operation to recover a logging truck that crashed off a cliff.

Emergency services were called to the crash at Motutere, near Bulli Point, around 12.40pm on Wednesday.

A St John spokesman said one person was taken to Taupō Hospital by ambulance in a moderate condition.

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency closed the road yesterday morning to recover the crashed truck, reopening it last night.

The agency said the road would close again early next week for the further recovery of heavy logs at the crash site.
