Two injured in threecar accident
TWO people were injured in a threecar crash on State Highway 1, south of East Taieri yesterday.
A police spokeswoman said emergency services were called about 9.30am to where three cars had collided in a nosetotail incident between Riccarton Rd and Gladfield Rd. The northbound lane was blocked and traffic was diverted down Riccarton Rd East.
A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman said crews from Lookout Point and Mosgiel were at the scene.
Upon arrival they discovered one person stuck in their car and used rescue equipment to extract them.
The process was completed quickly and within about 15 minutes drivers of both vehicles were in the care of St John.
St John said two ambulances responded. Two people were treated and transported to Dunedin Hospital in a moderate condition.
