A police spokeswoman said emergency services were called to the crash on State Highway 1 north of Dunedin at 4.30pm today and one person suffered serious injuries.
There were plans for a detour to be put in place as the road was blocked, she said.
A rescue helicopter had been sent, however St John communications adviser Gerard Campbell said the patient was being transported to Dunedin Hospital by road.
