A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokeswoman said crews attended a motor vehicle crash with one person involved about 9.40pm.
One crew from Roslyn Station and one crew from Lookout Point Station attended, she said.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said a 23-year-old woman had been driving down Kenmure Rd in steady rain.
She braked while going around a bend in the road, which resulted in her vehicle swerving and hitting the fence.
No injuries were reported, he said.
A nearby resident said she got a shock when she heard bumping and moved to the front of her house to find the ‘‘whole place was lit up’’.
She did not hear the crash itself but said she ‘‘almost died’’ from the lights shining in her front room from police, fire and ambulance.
A St John spokeswoman said it had no record of the incident.
