Sergeant Steve Watt, of Queenstown, said initial indications are a white Mitsubishi was pulling out from the intersection of Lake Hayes-Arrowtown road to head towards Queenstown about 5.45pm.
“This vehicle hasn’t allowed itself enough space to pull out.”
The car was hit by a large green truck and trailer travelling towards Cromwell, in an 80kmh zone, causing extensive damage to the back, left side of the Mitsubishi.
No further details are available at present.
