A crash in the Dunedin suburb of Forbury was caused by excessive speed, police say.

Constable Nick Turner said officers were called to the intersection of Hillside Rd and Surrey St about 6pm yesterday.

A 65-year-old woman was driving through the intersection and got hit by a 31-year-old man travelling south in Hillside Rd at high speed, Const Turner said.

The collision caused extensive damage to the vehicles but the drivers escaped without injury. 

There was CCTV footage and multiple witnesses, Const Turner said.
