A brief search has found a man who swam away after a vehicle went into the chilly waters of Otago Harbour at Broad Bay this morning.
A police spokeswoman said the vehicle went into the water near Bacon St about 5.35am.
An Otago Daily Times photographer at the scene said two 20-year-old women were out of the car, cold and wet, and had been taken to Dunedin Hospital for a check.
