There were long delays for motorists on Curletts Rd this morning, after an articulated lorry overturned at a busy roundabout on State Highway 73.
Police said the driver suffered minor injuries, but no other vehicles were involved.
Emergency services were called to the scene at about 8am, with the truck blocking the on-ramp to the Southern Motorway.

One northbound lane on Curletts Rd remained closed by mid-afternoon as Fire and Emergency New Zealand crews waited for a specialist crane to lift the truck.
