A major road north of Kerikeri has partly re-opened to traffic after a gas delivery truck rolled earlier this afternoon.

The crash, on Kapiro Road, near State Highway 10 on Thursday, left LPG cylinders strewn across the road and one person with moderate injuries.

Emergency services closed off both lanes about 12.30pm while firefighters wearing breathing apparatus made sure the cylinders were safe and cleared the road.

An ambulance had to wait on State Highway 10 until the scene was deemed safe.

The cause of the crash is not yet known, but it has been raining all day in the Far North and the roads are slick.
