One person has died after a crash at a remote private property near Waimate in Canterbury.
A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman said officers were called to a crash on a property off Back Line Rd in the Hunter Hills area of the Waimate District about 7.35am today.
Two crews from St Andrews and Waihaorunga stations responded to a request for assistance from St John.
When they arrived, the ambulance crew was already there and the appliances waited while St John staff used a four-wheel-drive to get to the crash site.
One appliance was then used to helped St John staff, the spokesman said.
A police spokesman said two people were involved in the crash, one of whom died.
The other was transported to Timaru Hospital in a moderate condition.
Police were providing the deceased person's family with support and the death would be referred to the Coroner, the spokesman said.
It was not a workplace incident, he confirmed.
A St John spokesman said one ambulance and a first response unit attended.
