Police describe the person who died in a truck crash in Southland this morning as "very young".

The truck overturned just before 3am this morning on State Highway One near Edendale.

Police say there were four people in the truck - the driver and three young people.

They're not releasing further details at this stage as next of kin are still being informed.

The Serious Crash Unit is investigating the crash and motorists are warning there will be delays on that section of State Highway 1.
