No-one was hurt when the driver of a small rental bus pulling
a luggage trailer lost control of the vehicle and crashed on
the Twizel-Omarama Rd, about 8km north of Omarama, shortly
before 8.30am on Saturday.
Only two people, the driver and one passenger, were aboard
the bus, which was heading for Queenstown, emergency service
officials said.
The trailer detached from the bus and dropped down a 10m bank
before coming to rest.
The road was reduced to one lane for a short time after the
crash and Omarama volunteer firefighters helped with traffic
control, officials said. No other details were available.
