Two people were taken to hospital after a car crashed through a fence and landed on its side north of Dunedin yesterday.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said police were called to Henry St, Waikouaiti, about 6.15pm.
A 41-year-old driver lost control and the vehicle left the road.
It took out a fence before coming to a stop on its side, Snr Sgt Bond said.
Two passengers were also inside the vehicle.
The driver admitted to drinking alcohol and the results of a blood sample were still being analysed, Snr Sgt Bond said.
A Hato Hone St John spokesman said they assessed two people at the scene.
Both were taken to Dunedin Hospital by ambulance, one in a moderate condition and the other in a minor condition.
