A pregnant woman and a toddler are among five people injured, in a head-on collision on a Central Otago road this afternoon.

Emergency crews were called to the scene on Kingston Road at Devil's Staircase just after 1.30pm.

Two people were trapped in a car and needed to be freed by fire crews from Frankton, Queenstown and Kingston.

Among the three people in the other car were a toddler and a pregnant woman.

All five were taken to Lakes District Hospital, three in a moderation condition while the others had minor injuries.

The Serious Crash Unit has been called, while the road is down to one lane.
