A two-vehicle crash at the corner of Ormond Road and Winter Street on Wednesday night resulted in five people being taken to Gisborne Hospital.

It happened at around 7.20pm.

“A car hit a ute in what was a T-bone crash,” a senior firefighter said.

“There were five people in the car and they were taken to hospital by St John ambulance for a check-up. The driver of the ute was OK.”

The senior firefighter said the car sustained substantial damage while the ute was moderately damaged.

The fire crew who responded controlled traffic around the site while the patients were tended to by ambulance officers, and the crash scene was cleared.

Police also attended and have an inquiry under way.
