Christchurch City Council work near Kerrs Reach slowed considerably yesterday morning while efforts were made to retrieve a council truck from the Avon River. The parked truck, towing a small concrete mixer, ploughed head first into the river after three workers left it for a few minutes. The council’s deputy general manager (works), Mr Harold Surtees, said there was no significant damage to the vehicle.
