A driver tackling one of the South Island's many flooded thoroughfares has captured the moment another traveller took a unique approach to the challenge, cruising down the road in a jetboat. Jorge Moraes shared two videos to Instagram showing the boat's cheeky move, as it cruised past a convoy of four-wheel-drive vehicles on a road thought to be near Lake Wānaka. Moraes said: "The guy leaves the lake and comes on to the street." The video was posted on Saturday, amid a weekend of drastic weather across the country. A reprieve from the flooding, thunderstorms, lightning strikes and flooding is expected in the coming days.
