A female motorist was rescued from her upturned car by firefighters using the jaws of life and taken by St John Queenstown ambulance to Lakes District Hospital last night.

The woman, the only person in the car, was driving a metallic blue Mitsubishi Magna station wagon east along Dalefield Rd, past Mountain View Rd.

The car rolled on to its roof in a ditch before it reached a sharp downhill 25kmh right-hand corner in darkness about 5.20pm.

Arrowtown and Frankton firefighters, as well as Queenstown police, responded.
