The Southern Steel netball team's van has crashed in Christchurch this afternoon with six players on board.
A vehicle and the van collided at the intersection of Memorial Ave and Clyde Rd in Fendalton, tipping the van on it on its side, according to a post on the team's Facebook page.
Steel lead physiotherapist Corina Ngatuere said four players were taken to Christchurch Hospital's emergency department as a precautionary measure. Two have since been discharged with two still being assessed.
"Everyone is stable," she said.
Steel chief executive Lana Winders said the franchise's top priority was the players.
"Absolutely the welfare of our players is our main concern. They are understandably shocked and our focus is on supporting them in their recovery. We will reassess the situation tomorrow."
The organisers of the ANZ Premiership, and Steel's Wednesday night opponent the Mainland Tactix, are being kept updated.
A police spokeswoman confirmed police were called to the crash between a van and a car at 12.52pm.
Police are making inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the crash, she said.
