A police spokesman updated chrislynchmedia.com at 9PM and said the driver of the truck was transported to Christchurch Hospital in a serious condition, and a lane had re-opened.

State Highway One was expected to remain under traffic management for some time while the crash site is cleared, the police spokeman said.
