Driver collided with 2 cars

A 95-year-old male driver collided with two cars after not checking if the lanes were clear on a Dunedin street, police say.

Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said they responded to the incident in Police St at 12.40pm on Monday.

The driver was crossing Cumberland St from the off-ramp of the Jetty St bridge towards Police St and did not check if the lanes were clear.

He crossed in front of a 49-year-old female driver, who attempted to avoid the crash but collided with his vehicle, Snr Sgt Bond said.

The man continued on, colliding with another vehicle parked in Police St.

A Hato Hone St John spokesman said one patient was assessed and treated at the scene.
