“The person was safely extricated from the vehicle,” a spokesperson from Fire and Emergency New Zealand said.

Brigades from Waihī and Mayor View (Waihī Beach) attended, with three fire engines at the scene.

“We have since left, and the person is now in the care of St John.”

An ambulance and one rapid response unit attended, a Hato Hone St John spokesperson said.

“One patient, in moderate condition, is being transported to Thames Hospital.”

Police said that there were no road closures at this stage.
