Police said nobody was trapped in the vehicle, but the sole occupant of a car was injured.

A St John spokeswoman said one ambulance attended the scene of a motor vehicle accident.

"We treated and transported one patient in a serious condition to Hawke's Bay Hospital," she said.

A Hawke's Bay District Health Board spokeswoman said the female was in a stable condition in Hawke's Bay Hospital.
