Pair helped from overturned vehicle after crash

Two people were taken to Oamaru Hospital, one with moderate injuries, after being helped out of an overturned vehicle following a crash on the Kurow-Duntroon Rd early today.

The other person received minor injuries in the crash, about half way between Kurow and Duntroon, about 6am today.

Firefighters from several fire brigades, including Kurow, went to the crash.

Kurow fire chief John Sturgeon said the vehicle was stabilised to keep it safely in place while the people were helped from the vehicle, but no cutting was required to remove them.

A police spokeswoman said the road was blocked for some time after the crash, and was fully reopened by 7.14am.
