One person is in a serious condition after a car crashed into an Invercargill building, sparking a fire.

Emergency services were called to Hoffman Court, Waikiwi, on Wednesday afternoon.

One person was taken to hospital in serious condition.

Hato Hone St John said they were notified about 1.40pm and sent an ambulance, operations manager andrapid response unit.
