A patient has been taken to Dunedin Hospital by ambulance with moderate injuries after a car struck a power pole in Concord this evening.
Police, St John and fire crews were called to the scene about 5.20pm.
The crash took place on Blackhead Rd, near the intersection with Emerson St.
A police spokeswoman said the accident took place on a blind corner, and police were at the scene to conduct traffic control.
The right rear side of the car was extensively damaged.
Lookout Point Volunteer Fire Brigade senior station officer Martin Jansen said the driver was a young woman, in her 20s or 30s, and she did not appear to know where she was.
He did not know what caused the crash but suspected the rain contributed.
The key message was to drive to the conditions, he said.
