Multiple vehicle accident - SH1

27 September

The Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter was dispatched to Hatepe Hill on SH1, south of Taupo, at approximately 6 pm this evening to attend a multiple vehicle accident.

The Waikato Team were joined by Rotorua's BayTrust Rescue Helicopter, both helicopters were required due to the number of patients requiring immediate transportation to hospital facilities.

The Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter transported two patients who were reported as being father and daughter. Both had sustained serious injuries in the accident and they were taken directly to Waikato Hospital for treatment.

For further information on the accident please refer to NZ Police.

Philips Search and Rescue Trust is a charitable organisation, operating rescue helicopters throughout the Central North Island. Philips Search and Rescue Trust relies on support from principal sponsors and community donations. Special thanks to Waikato King Country's principal sponsor, Westpac. This crucial financial support ensures our rescue helicopters can continue to bring life-saving equipment, rescue personnel and trauma-trained medics directly to the patient.
