A missing man was found tangled in a blackberry bush.
Police found a 23-year-old man who went missing from his crashed car on the Napier-Taupo Rd yesterday.
Aaron Vandenburg was travelling home to Hastings from Rotorua yesterday. His car was discovered crashed in the afternoon near the Te Haroto summit on SH 5. The car was found stuck in a
fence and had a flat tyre.
Police were initially concerned for his safety, as he had a medical condition which caused him to be disoriented.
Search and rescue teams found Mr Vandenburg just after 8.30pm last night, not far from where his car had crashed. He had fallen down a bank and was entangled in blackberry bushes, which rescuers had to cut away to free him.
He did not appear to have any injuries but was taken to Hawke's Bay Hospital for observation.
