Emergency services were alerted to the crash in Beach St, near Port Otago’s container terminal, about 11.15am.
A police spokeswoman said it was reported a vehicle ‘‘had gone through a fence into the port area and come to a stop on the train tracks in the port’’.
It was unknown exactly how this had happened, the spokeswoman said.
A Hato Hone St John spokesperson said one rapid response unit, one ambulance and one operations manager attended.
One person was taken to Dunedin Hospital in a moderate condition.
Two other people, both in minor conditions, were assessed and treated at the scene.
A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman said nobody was trapped upon arrival, and crews assisted with scene safety.
