A Waikato road blocked when a stock truck crashed near Pukeatua has re-opened.

The truck driver suffered minor injuries in the crash on Arapuni Rd, about 7.30am.

Police have now confirmed the road has re-opened after diversions were earlier in place.

Initial reports this morning described a truck and trailer unit carrying 160 weaner calves rolling on its side and straddling the road, Waikato police senior sergeant Andrew said.

Motorists were advised to avoid travelling between Te Awamutu, Arapuni and Putaruru unless necessary.
