A woman left in a "very critical'' condition following a Queenstown car crash appears to have been abandoned by others in the vehicle. Sergeant Steve Watt said police believed two other people were in the black Honda Odyssey when it crashed on Gorge Road at 4am yesterday. The crash, at the rear of the Gorge Road Retail Centre, was not discovered until 10.30am, when emergency services were called. The 22-year-old woman, who RNZ reported was from Germany, was extracted from the car about 11.15am and was taken by ambulance to Lakes District Hospital. A seriously injured woman was taken to hospital after being extracted from this car in Queenstown yesterday.
