Flood Crisis Hits Kaikōura | Christchurch News

Floodwaters trap a vehicle near Mt Lyford, but specialist water rescue teams—Canterbury firefighters trained for this—swiftly pull the driver to safety. These crews were already en route to Kaikōura, bracing for heavy rain that’s triggered a state of emergency as the Kōwhai River overflows, washing out infrastructure like the Cribb Creek Bridge and cutting off roads including State Highway 1. Fire and Emergency warns against driving through floodwaters, as it endangers lives and delays rescue. A Red Warning for extreme rain remains active across eastern Marlborough and upper Canterbury, with major disruptions expected until Wednesday morning.
