One person has died after a workplace incident outside a BP service station in the South Island.
Emergency services were called to Main Street Blenheim at 2am Easter Monday.
It is understood a person was found under a truck.
Fire and Emergency NZ shift manager Blair Walklin said a crew was sent from Blenheim Fire Station to assist with a motor vehicle incident outside BP.
“Our crew was only there for four or five minutes and were stood down by police who were already on the scene,” Walklin said.
A police media spokesperson said emergency services were called to the scene following a “workplace incident. One person sadly died at the scene.”
The matter has been referred to WorkSafe and the coroner.
