Two people in a serious condition have been airlifted to Dunedin Hospital after a crash involving a car and a truck and trailer in Southland.<\/p>\n

Police said\u00a0the crash happened in Old Coach Rd between Kaiwera Downs Rd and Isla Rd, on State Highway 93 about 6am today.<\/p>\n

A Hato Hone St John spokesman said it was notified of the crash at 5.55am and responded with two ambulances, two helicopters, one rapid response unit and one operations manager attended.<\/p>\n

Two patients were seriously hurt and flown to Dunedin, while another patient was in a moderate condition and transported to Invercargill Hospital by road, he said.<\/p>\n

SH93 was closed between the intersections of SH1 Mataura and SH1 Clinton for most of the morning, with a\u00a0detour via SH1 in place.<\/p>\n

The New Zealand Transport Agency advised about 10.50am that the highway had reopened.<\/p>\n

However, people were still asked to drive with care on the section of road between Clinton and Mataura.<\/p>\n
