Six people were injured in a rush-hour car crash on a busy Christchurch road this morning.
Emergency services were called to the three-vehicle crash on Blenheim Rd, between Tika and Matipo Sts, at 7.30am on Thursday.
Four other people were treated at the scene for minor injuries.
Blenheim Rd was temporarily blocked after the crash, causing traffic to build up during the morning rush hour.
Meanwhile, the NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi is warning motorists to expect delays of up to 30 minutes between 10am and noon on Friday following a prior fatal crash near the SH7 Springs Junction to Hanmer Springs turnoff (Lewis Pass).
A site inspection is taking place at the scene where a person was killed and two others injured in the two-vehicle crash on Sunday.
The highway was closed for nearly 12 hours between the Hanmer Springs turnoff and Springs Junction on Sunday while the serious crash unit examined the scene.
