A man is in a coma in Dunedin Hospital following a serious car crash in west Otago at the weekend.
Emergency services were called to Roxburgh St, Heriot, after a car crashed into a building on Saturday night.
The driver of the Subaru wagon was airlifted to hospital with serious head injuries, Senior Sergeant Brian Benn, of Dunedin, said.
The 27-year-old remained in a coma last night.
The female passenger received moderate injuries and was taken by ambulance to Gore.
Heriot Volunteer Fire Brigade Chief Fire Officer Murray Young said volunteer firefighters helped cut the pair from the vehicle, which had crashed into the PGG Wrightson building.
