A person has been taken to hospital in a moderate condition after their car left the road, crashing onto a beach in North Otago.
A Fire and Emergency spokesman said crews from Palmerston and Hampden responded to the incident on State Highway 1, near Hillgrove, about 12.50pm today.
Initial reports had been of a more serious incident, but the single occupant was not trapped, the spokesman said.
Traffic around the incident was being slowed and minor delays were possible, he said.
A Hato Hone St John spokesperson said one patient, in moderate condition, was being transported to Dunedin Hospital.
One PRIME responder, one first response unit and an ambulance attended the incident.
A police spokeswoman said it appeared there was no significant road blockage.
