Emergency services attend the scene of an accident at the intersection of Henley-Berwick Rd and State Highway 1 on Thursday. 

Two people were taken to hospital after a two-vehicle crash sent a ute careening off the road just south of Dunedin Airport.

Hato Hone St John responded at 8.13am with two ambulances and one operations manager, a spokesman said.

“Two patients were assessed at the scene, with both transported to Dunedin Hospital by ambulance in a moderate condition,” the spokesman said.

A ute with a dented side could be seen in a paddock beside the road.

Police said the road was not closed because of the crash.
