A person has died after a serious incident involving an arborist in Christchurch’s Hagley Park.

Police, Fire and Emergency and St John were all talked to the scene this morning.

Photographs from the scene show a large tree which appears to have toppled over, near a sign-written arborists’ truck.

The arborist company and Christchurch City Council had no comment to make. WorkSafe has been contacted for comment.
