A Christchurch Bunnings Warehouse was temporarily closed after a vehicle crashed into it on Thursday afternoon.
The vehicle crashed into a stand of gas bottles outside Bunnings Warehouse Riccarton in Tower Junction off Blenheim Rd about 1pm.
A Fire and Emergency NZ spokesman said firefighters had a hose on standby.
Fire crews had to check the gas bottles to ensure they were not leaking or posed a risk to the public.
Two crews from the Spreydon and central city fire stations attended.
One person has been taken to Christchurch Hospital in a moderate condition, a St John ambulance spokesman said.
