One person has died following a single-vehicle crash in Whanganui East this morning.

The crash at the convergence of State Highway 4 and Anzac Parade was initially reported shortly before 10am.

"Sadly, the sole occupant of the vehicle died at the scene despite the efforts of emergency services," a police spokesperson said.

St John said it sent one ambulance and one support vehicle.

State Highway 4 had since re-opened and support was being provided to those involved.
