A man has left hospital after a single-vehicle crash on a rural road on the southern outskirts of Napier on Sunday.

The crash off a section of Willowbank Ave, between Kenny and Riverbend roads, was reported at 3.37pm, and a police spokesperson said the crash involved one vehicle with one occupant.

The vehicle was understood to have left the road and crashed into a ditch on the northern side of the road.

A Te Whatu Ora Hawke’s Bay spokeswoman said a man in his 30s was assessed by staff at Hawke’s Bay Hospital and went home on Sunday.

Hato Hone St John reported at the time they had taken the man to hospital in a critical condition.
