Slippery roads caused havoc for Dunedin drivers on Saturday morning with five crashes in the city before midday, including one in which a woman broke her ankle.
Senior Sergeant Steve Aitken, of Dunedin, said the first incident happened on South Rd, Caversham about 8am when an 18-year-old woman fell off her scooter and broke her ankle.
She was transported to Dunedin Hospital by ambulance.
There were four other non-injury crashes in which drivers failed to negotiate icy conditions including a four-wheel-drive vehicle which went off the road into a ditch near Allanton at 8.50 am, a vehicle which slid into a parked car on Ravenswood Rd, a three-car crash on Andersons Bay Rd and a crash involving a woman who was eight months pregnant near Queens Gardens, on Cumberland St about 11.45am.
The woman and her unborn baby were unhurt.
