Please attribute the following to Senior Sergeant Mark Scott from Wellington District Command Centre:
Motorists are being warned to expect delays after a truck overturned on State Highway 1 at the Plimmerton roundabout.
The left hand lane of the two-lane roundabout is closed after the truck, which was transporting a digger, overturned at about 1.20pm.
Emergency services are at the scene but there are no reports of any injuries.
The left hand lane is expected to be closed for at least two hours while cranes are brought in to clear the vehicles. Traffic is moving but motorists are advised to expect delays as commuter traffic builds.
Police would like to thank motorists in advance for their patience.
