Stray sheep and spilt offal delay traffic

Sheep running loose on a road are causing traffic delays south of Kaikoura.

Christchurch police southern communications shift manager Rick Jury said a stock truck had crashed on State Highway 1, near Oaro, about 2.15pm today.

The sheep from the truck were loose on the road, he said.

One lane had been closed and drivers should expect delays, he said

Meanwhile, an offal spill is causing delays on Main South Rd and Halswell Junction Rd.

Police were alerted to the spill about 1.30pm.

However, where the offal came from is unknown as no vehicle was on the scene when police arrived, he said.

A sheep may not has been so rogue as first thought. Ah, maybe not, the offal is a long way from the rogue sheep.
