The road is expected to remain closed until later today.

A worker at a nearby business, who did not wish to be named, said police had come into the business asking for CCTV footage.

Police had told them they expected the road to remain closed until about noon, the worker said.

Two ambulances and one rapid response vehicle were called to the scene, a Hato Hone St John spokesperson said.

More to come.
