A driver of a truck and trailer, carrying fruit and vegetables, died after the vehicle crashed about 10 metres down a bank in the Lewis Pass.
The State Highway is closed between the Hanmer Springs turnoff and Springs Junction...with no detours available.
A Waka Kotahi spokesperson says they believe it's unlikely the road will reopen today.
They're encouraging motorists keep an eye on their Facebook page for further updates.
