Police were alerted to the crash shortly after 9:00am. The sole 67 year old female occupant has lost control of the car she was driving, which has left the road and rolled down a 30 metre bank ending up on it’s wheels in a swamp.
She was cut free from the vehicle and taken to Taranaki Base hospital by the Taranaki Rescue Helicopter. She has received head, spine, and rib injuries as a result of the crash and is described as being in a serious but stable condition.
