A tourist driver is facing two charges of careless driving causing injury after a head-on crash on the Glenorchy-Paradise Rd near Queenstown.
Sergeant Keith Newell, of Queenstown, said the 45-year-old was allegedly driving his rental van around a bend on the wrong side of the road when it collided with an oncoming car at 11.20am yesterday.
The driver of the car, a 45-year-old man from Queenstown, suffered cuts and bruises.
One of the van's four occupants, a 15-year-old boy, was knocked out and taken to Lakes District Hospital.
The crash occurred on the unsealed section of the road, Sgt Newell said.
