Two people have been hospitalised after the driver of a car suffered a medical episode behind the wheel and crashed into house in Auckland tonight.
Emergency services were called to Jukes Place in Otara about 8pm, said police northern communications shift inspector Andy Brill.
A St John spokeswoman said two people were taken to Middlemore Hospital from the scene - one person in a serious condition and the other in a moderate condition.
Mr Brill said the crash was caused by a pre-existing medical condition.
"They were not really injured from the crash, it was a medical condition which had pre-empted the whole thing."
