A woman on her way to work ended up in Dunedin Hospital after her vehicle flipped and crashed into a paddock.
Emergency services were called to the crash in Huntly Rd, near Outram, at about 2.50pm yesterday, Sergeant Matt Lee, of Dunedin, said.
An 18-year-old woman was driving to work but veered into the gravel on the side of the road.
She over-corrected and the vehicle began fish-tailing across both lanes.
She then hit the brakes but the vehicle skidded and crashed through a wire fence, Sgt Lee said.
‘‘The vehicle flipped and ended up on its side in a paddock.’’
The driver sustained minor lacerations to her head and back, along with whiplash.
Neither speed nor alcohol factored into the crash, Sgt Lee said.
A Hato Hone St John spokesperson said an ambulance responded and transported one patient, in a moderate condition, to Dunedin Hospital.
