Police and ambulance paramedics made their way to the scene of the crash in the sand dunes, but the isolated location made communication difficult.

Mr Metcalfe said there were a number of callouts keeping police busy across the regions this holiday weekend with the number of burglaries causing concern.
He said many of the break-ins were of homes where people had gone away for the holiday weekend and left windows or even doors open or unlocked.
Mr Metcalfe said in the 24 hours to yesterday afternoon there had been five burglaries in the Tikipunga area alone and three of them were homes where people had gone away and left a window open or door unlocked. He said homeowners should never leave a window open or door unlocked.
"That's just inviting a burglar into your home. You should always lock your place up if going away and get somebody to keep a regular eye on the place."
"It's never nice to come home from holiday to find your home broken into."
