A man whose Subaru station wagon left the road and plunged into Otago's Clutha River earlier this week has been found safe and well, police say.

Central Otago police thanked the public for providing information which led to the find. A statement on Thursday said it was through information received by police, that they were able to locate the driver safe and well.

The vehicle, described as a royal blue Subaru station wagon, has not yet been found.

"We have information to suggest the vehicle is in the river," police said.

Police believe the driver was travelling in the area around Tamblyn Road, in Roxburgh at the time of the accident and are satisfied he was the sole occupant of the vehicle.
