A young Tauranga girl has been flown to hospital after suffering serious burns from spilling hot water on herself.
The Trustpower TECT Rescue Helicopter was sent to fly the nine-year-old girl to Waikato Hospital yesterday.
She had "accidentally spilled hot boiling water on herself and required immediate medical attention", a
statement from the rescue helicopter said.
The young girl was carefully monitored by the onboard Intensive Care Paramedic while being airlifted to Waikato Hospital alongside her mother.
She was in a stable condition in hospital, a Waikato District Health Board spokeswoman said.
