A crash between a car and a truck blocked a busy Hornby intersection on Friday morning.

Emergency services were called to the crash at the intersection of Halswell Junction and Shands roads at about 7.34am.

Christchurch Transport Operations Centre said two-way traffic has been restored on Shands Rd, but the road is "restricted".

The intersection was cleared about 10am, but contractors will be on site fixing a signal pole. 

"Motorists who travel home this way should consider using an alternative route," said a CTOC spokesman.
