Four people were injured in a nose-to-tail crash between two cars in Dunedin yesterday.

A parked third vehicle was also damaged in the 3.15pm crash in Mailer St.

A child was among the injured, St John said.

Two people received moderate injuries and two others minor injuries, and were taken to Dunedin Hospital.

''Three cars were involved,'' a police spokeswoman said. ''One car has hit the back of the other car and the second car has hit a parked car.''

Two tow trucks removed the vehicles from the street.

A police spokeswoman said inquiries were continuing into what caused the crash.
