Alexandra Sergeant Derek Ealson said the 40-year-old male had been charged with two counts of reckless driving causing injury, plus supplying alcohol to a minor.
Sgt Ealson said the reckless driving charge could be laid if a person drove a vehicle, or caused a vehicle to be driven.
The 15-year-old had been driving a van with four people in it when it rolled on Little Valley Rd just after 7pm.
Central Otago sub-area supervisor Senior Sergeant Ian Kerrisk said the driver of the vehicle was drunk, as well as the driver’s parent and the others.
The 15-year-old was referred to Youth Aid and has appeared in Youth Court once. He will reappear in the Youth Court on November 24.
The 40-year-old male will appear before the registrar in the Alexandra District Court on November 8.
