Reporoa Car Accident

The BayTrust Rescue Helicopter was dispatched to Reporoa early this evening, to attend to a single vehicle that had left the road and rolled over. Local fire crews established a landing area as the mission was been flown using Night Vision Goggles. One occupant a 23 yr old male, was flown to Waikato Hospital in a critical condition with multiple injuries. Due to the time critical nature of his injuries the helicopter was used to transport to an appropriate care facility.
