One person has died after a crash north of Lake Wakatipu.
Emergency services were called about 4.40am Sunday, after two vehicles collided on the Glenorchy-Routeburn Road, police said.
One person died at the scene and one was in a serious condition.
The road was still partially blocked just before 1pm Sunday, as emergency services and the Serious Crash Unit worked at the scene.
"Our thoughts and sympathies are with those involved," they said.
"There are no available diversions and the road is partially opening when possible."
