A person was seriously injured when a truck crashed into a paddock north of Oamaru this morning.

Police were called to the scene, on Pukeuri-Oamaru Rd (State Highway 1) at 10.30am, a police spokeswoman said.

''It appears a semi-trailer truck unit has gone off the road and into a paddock,'' the spokeswoman said.

A St John spokesman confirmed one person had serious injuries and was taken to Oamaru Hospital.
