A woman has been injured after a truck and car crashed on a Dunedin motorway tonight.

A police spokeswoman said a truck and car collided on the Southern Motorway, near Green Island, just after 6pm.

The crash resulted in the northbound lane of the motorway, near the on-ramp from Green Island, being blocked.

Traffic is being diverted through Kaikorai, she said.

The driver of the car was alone, she said.

The truck driver was uninjured.

A St John spokesman said a woman in the car sustained moderate injuries and was taken by ambulance to Dunedin Hospital.
