It is not yet known whether the person who was injured was the driver of the vehicle or an occupant of the house.
Next door neighbour Caleb told an RNZ reporter he heard sirens earlier that morning but not the crash.
“I was in my bed and I heard a siren go for like one second,” he said.
“And then it stopped and I was like ‘oh what’s that’.”
Police enquiries into the cause of the crash are continuing.
There is also significant damage to the house. Photo / RNZ, Marika Khabazi
