A woman was taken to hospital after her car went off the road and rolled down a bank in Welcome Bay today.
The vehicle left the road on the 45kmh corner at Water Lane. Police at the scene say the driver who was alone in the car was complaining of chest pains afterwards. The cause of the accident is under investigation.

In other traffic incidents, a 17 year old male was arrested following a police pursuit in Papamoa last night.
He is charged with dangerous driving, driving while disqualified, failing to stop, driving with an under 20 excess breath alcohol, and resisting police.
