One person has been taken to hospital with moderate injuries after a tractor rolled into a ditch in Southland.

A police spokeswoman said police received a report of a rolled tractor in Winton-Substation Rd, in Thomsons Crossing about 12.55 pm.

It was expected the road would need to be closed, the spokeswoman said.

A St John spokeswoman said one ambulance had responded to the scene.

One patient was transported to Southland Hospital in a moderate condition, she said.

A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman said two crews from Winton station attended the incident.

When they arrived they found a tractor in a ditch.
