Police were called to the Temuka-Orari Highway near the intersection with Opuha Street East about 3.30pm.
Sadly, despite best efforts, one person died at the scene.
The road was blocked while the Serious Crash Unit conducted a scene examination, however, will reopen shortly (as at 8.21pm).
There will be a 50km/h temporary speed limit in place overnight around the area.
