A man was taken to Southland Hospital in a critical condition this morning after a motorcycle and truck collided near Wallacetown.

An ambulance spokesman said the incident happened about 11.45am. The cause of the crash is not known.

The crash happened on a rural gravel road on the outskirts of Wallacetown, about 15 minutes from Invercargill.

The truck was carrying rocks and was travelling south. It had stopped in a dip and was apparently about to negotiate a left-hand bend.

The Police Serious Crash Unit is investigating.
