Wairarapa United coach Phil Keinzley was one of three people taken to Wairarapa Hospital after a three-car crash in Carterton this morning.
A hospital spokesman said Mr Keinzley was one of two men involved in the crash admitted to the hospital in a serious but stable condition.
A woman admitted with more moderate injuries was likely to be released today.
The incident occurred on High St South in heavy rain about 8.15am. The crash held up traffic for about 30 minutes.
Masterton police sergeant Mike Sutton said the driver of one car involved in the crash suffers from a medical condition that may have contributed to the incident.
Mr Keinzley was in the second car.
He has been coach of Wairarapa United for more than a decade and led the team to victory in the Chatham Cup in August last year. He is also owner of farm services business Keinzley AgVet.
