An injured person was trapped for a time after their car rolled down a bank in Riverton this morning.
A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokeswoman said firefighters from Riverton and Otautau were called to James St near the intersection with Church St at 11.20am.
They discovered a car had rolled down a bank and the occupant had become trapped by vegetation.
Crews assisted St John staff and left the incident in the hands of police, the spokesman said.
A Hato Hone St John spokesman said it sent a helicopter and a rapid response vehicle.
One person was taken to Southland Hospital with moderate injuries, the spokesman said.
