A Hastings road will be closed "for some time", after a truck crash this morning.
A police spokeswoman said police had been alerted just before 8.30 this morning to a "truck and trailer on its side" on Swamp Rd, Fernhill.
The truck driver had been trapped, but was freed and taken to Hawke's Bay Hospital. He had no obvious injuries, she said.
The truck had been transporting gravel, which spilled across the road when the vehicle tipped over.
A Hawke's Bay police spokeswoman said it was thought the road would be closed "for some time" as the gravel was cleared - with police even bringing in a crane to help to clear the scene.
More soon.
