Two people have been injured in a crash on Fitzgerald Avenue in central Christchurch this afternoon.

A police spokeswoman told chrislynchmedia.com at 2pm emergency services were called after a car struck several parked vehicles.

Several Fire and Emergency crews responded to the scene.

St John said it attended with two ambulances, an operations manager and a rapid response unit.

Two patients, both in moderate condition, were transported to Christchurch Hospital, a St John spokesperson said.

The road was blocked for a time but all lanes have since reopened, police said.
