A backseat passenger was ejected from a car that crashed on Dunedin’s Southern motorway early yesterday.
Sergeant Matt Lee, of Dunedin, said police were called to the scene on Caversham Valley Rd at 3.20am.
The 18-year-old driver lost control of the vehicle, spun out and crashed through a fence.
A 24-year-old man in the back seat was thrown from his seat and through the vehicle's rear window on to the road.
He was taken to hospital in a serious condition.
Alcohol and weather were not factors in the crash, Sgt Lee said.
