Police say a young truck driver has had a lucky escape, after his vehicle wound up 50 metres down a bank off the Crown Range.
Emergency services were called to the crash site near Arrow Junction about 10am today.
Fire and Emergency New Zealand crews from Arrowtown and Frankton tried to stabilise the precariously-placed vehicle before freeing the trapped man, a Fenz spokesman said.
