Police say an officer involved in a five-car crash in central Dunedin, in which a woman was trapped, may have suffered a medical event.
Five vehicles - a police car, bus, and three other cars - were involved in the crash at the intersection of York Pl and Smith St near a preschool and nursery just before 8.30am today.
Emergency services worked to free the woman after she became trapped by a vehicle. She had moderate to serious injuries and was taken to Dunedin Hospital.
Police said a baby in her care was also checked at the hospital, but was understood to have minor injuries.
The officer was also receiving treatment there.
