Man concussed, boy bloodied in harbour boat crash

Four people, one a four-year-old boy, were taken to hospital after a boat crash on Otago Harbour yesterday.

Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond said a small boat crashed into a sandbar near Quarantine Island about 7.10pm on Sunday.

The boat had six passengers and the cause of the crash was unknown, he said.

A 38-year-old male was concussed and received a laceration to his forehead.

The four-year-old boy received a bloody nose.

A St John spokeswoman said two ambulances took four patients to Dunedin Hospital, all in a moderate condition.

The boat was left on the sandbar for retrieval, Snr Sgt Bond said.
