Emergency services attended a two-car head-on collision near Outram at the weekend that will prove to be very expensive.
A police spokesman said officers were called to the collision in Lee Stream-Outram Rd (State Highway 87) about noon on Saturday.
One lane was temporarily blocked and two tow trucks were called, the spokesman said.
A St John spokeswoman said an ambulance attended and took one person to Dunedin Hospital with serious injuries.
