A six car nose-to-tail pile up at Roaring Meg in the Kawarau Gorge resulted in four cars needing to be towed this morning.
Central Otago Police say one person involved in a multiple-vehicle crash in Central Otago was been taken to hospital, with moderate to serious neck injuries.
Around 7:15am, a heavy motor vehicle was parked at end of a slow-vehicle bay, and a van had stopped suddenly to let it merge.
These two vehicles have continued on; but six following vehicles have collided in nose-to-tails.
The injured man was in the last of those six vehicles, a ute, and was taken to Dunstan Hospital.
Others involved have received minor bumps and bruises.
Police say the road conditions at the time were good, with no ice on the road.
Police are reminding drivers to follow the 'two-second rule'.
