One person is dead and another is injured after a vehicle hurtled about 50m down a steep bank on a remote 4WD track in Macetown near Arrowtown.
A police media spokesperson confirmed they were called by St John to the serious single-vehicle crash on a remote 4WD track shortly after noon.
The Otago Daily Times understands the car ended up dropping about 50m vertically down a steep bank in Macetown Valley.
At one stage between 15 and 20 emergency services personnel were at the scene which is about 5km down Macetown Rd, which is a rough 4WD track surrounded by steep drop-offs.

Earlier today a St John spokesman said two people were hurt in the crash, however police have now confirmed one of the pair died at the scene.
"Another person has sustained moderate injuries," police said.
