Three males were taken to Gisborne Hospital after separate road crashes in the district at the weekend — one at Nuhaka, another in Tucker Road at Makauri and the third near Tolaga Bay.
The Makauri crash happened just before 7am yesterday.
“It involved a car going off the road and hitting a fence.” a senior firefighter said.
A St John ambulance spokesman said the 17-year-old teenager in the vehicle, the sole occupant, suffered minor injuries.
The more serious crash happened at around 9.50am yesterday in Paremata Road off Tauwhareparae Road.
