Woman injured on Tongariro crossing
The Taupo Based Greenlea Rescue helicopter was dispatched to The Tongariro Alpine crossing yesterday, to a woman in her fifties who had slipped over and fractured her ankle near the Emerald lakes.
She was unable to walk due to her injury, and because of her remote location needed to be assisted by the helicopter.
She was flown to Rotorua hospital.
