The emergency services were called to Atkinson Street near the Taruheru Crescent corner in Riverdale last night after a ute rolled.

It happened at around 9pm.

When police, firefighters and St John officers arrived no one was at the scene.

“The vehicle had rolled on to its roof and was sitting on the roadside verge near the footpath when we got there,” a senior firefighter said.

“There was no sign of anyone from the vehicle with it at that time.”

Police have an inquiry under way.
