A section of State Highway 1 north of Dunedin has reopened this evening, after a crash involving two vehicles and a logging truck.
Police said a car went down a bank and one person received minor injuries in the 2.25pm crash at the northern base of the Kilmog hill.
Debris from the collision, also involving a logging truck and a ute, was strewn across the highway.

The highway was closed between Hawkesbury and Evansdale from the Coast Road intersections with a detour in place for a time.
However, the road was open again just after 5pm, but motorists should expect a longer journey while the backlog of trucks clears, the spokeswoman said.
