Emergency services received reports of the single-vehicle crash on Lee Steam-Outram Rd (State Highway 87) just before 8am.
A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokeswoman said crews freed one person trapped in the vehicle, which had ‘‘rolled into a paddock’’.
A Hato Hone St John spokesperson said they responded with one ambulance and a rapid response unit.
One patient was taken to Dunedin Hospital in a ‘‘critical condition’’, the spokesperson said.
The highway was closed for a time this afternoon to allow for police investigations, but in an update at 3.35pm NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi advised the road had reopened.
Another crash closed SH85 near St Bathans early this afternoon.
