Emergency services were called to the Northern Motorway south of Waitati shortly after 3:30am, where a car had gone down a bank.
The sole occupant of the vehicle was sadly located deceased.
The road remains blocked while a scene examination takes place – light vehicles are asked to follow the marked detour.
