A Wakatipu man was flown to Dunedin Hospital in a serious condition this afternoon after veering off the road just before the Shotover Bridge in Queenstown.
Sergeant Simon Matheson, of Queenstown, said the 26-year-old man was the sole occupant of the vehicle, which travelled a further 130 metres after leaving the road, hitting two road signs, getting airborne over a 1.5m embankment and underpass, and rolling before coming to a rest on the riverbank.
The man was travelling east on the Frankton-Ladies Mile highway about 3.50pm at the time of the crash.
