A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

Police are investigating after two people were injured when a vehicle crashed at Deep Creek Bridge at Ruakituri and dropped 20 metres.

The crash was reported at about 11.50am on Saturday, a police spokesman said.

“Of the two occupants, one suffered minor injuries while the other was more seriously injured. They managed to climb back to the road, where a passing motorist stopped to help them.”

One patient was taken to hospital by the Trust Tairāwhiti Rescue Helicopter. A 15-year-old male was treated and discharged that day.

“A second person was assessed and treated at the scene,” a St John spokesperson said.
