West Coast storm: Woman missing, road washed out - update

From Morning Report, 6:39 am on 9 November 2018

A woman is missing on the West Coast and the approach road to a bridge at Arthur's Pass has been washed out near Otira. A search for the woman was called off on Thursday night and will resume alongside the Haupiri River near Gloriavale. The washout in Arthur's Pass left travellers stranded after State Highways 6 and 73 were closed. And a group of Otago students were stuck at Mount Aspiring National Park due to rising river levels. With us now is our reporter Tom Furley.
