A car rests on its roof on Dunedin's Southern Motorway yesterday.

Sergeant Phill Hamlin, of Dunedin, said the car, driven by an 18-year-old, crashed into the roadside barrier between the Westland St on-ramp and the Old Brighton Rd off-ramp, near Green Island, about 5.50am.

The man, the sole occupant of the car, had swerved to avoid a dog in the single-vehicle crash.

The man was uninjured and not charged, Sgt Hamlin said.

Both lanes of the motorway were closed for a short time.
