One person was taken to hospital with moderate injuries after a car crashed in Southland last night. A car rolled into a paddock in Isla Bank shortly before 9pm and two firefighting appliances were sent to the scene, a Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman said. A patient was taken to Southland Hospital in Invercargill, a St John Ambulance spokeswoman confirmed. Firefighters were also sent to Mataura, Southland, in the early hours of this morning after a car hit a pole. Medical assistance was not needed at the Mataura crash, St John said.
