    State Highway Eight, near Twizel has reopened, following the third crash on the road in two days


    A heavy vehicle crash closed the Tekapo-Twizel Road just before 8 this morning.

    The Transport Agency is urging drivers to take care on South Island highways - with fog, ice and snow continuing to have an effect.
