The truck is believed to have rolled after striking black ice on Lindis Road just before 6am.
Several car crashes have been caused by icy roads this morning in Otago and South Canterbury.
Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman Simon Lyford says police have closed the alpine pass to traffic.
He says police are bringing in a tow truck or crane to remove the truck and trailer.
