The driver of a ute towing a diesel trailer which rolled in Central Hawke's Bay this afternoon has escaped without serious injuries.
A police spokeswoman said the crash occurred in Hatuma, south of Waipukarau, near the intersection of Woburn and Hinerangi Rd's about 1.15pm.
She said a ute carrying a
diesel trailer had rolled, however the diesel trailer was thought to be empty.
The Lowe Corporation Rescue Helicopter was called, and stood down as the driver appeared to be alert, conscious, and moving.
The 24-year-old man was treated for a laceration to his left leg and for other "cuts and bruises" but did not need to be taken to hospital.
