An Oamaru man received minor injuries after his car rolled in Dunedin in the early hours of yesterday morning.

Senior Sergeant Craig Dinnissen said it appeared the car failed to take a roundabout on Anderson's Bay Road and rolled onto its roof.

The 20-year-old driver suffered minor injuries.

Snr Sgt Dinnissen said "preliminary thoughts'' were that he was driving too fast, but investigations were ongoing.
