An Australian tourist remains in a critical condition after he was involved in a three-vehicle crash in Waikato that also injured his wife and two children.
The 49-year-old from Sydney has been recovering in Waikato Hospital's intensive care unit since the crash on State Highway 23 between Whatawhata and Raglanon Thursday.
The man and his seriously injured 3-year-old son suffered multiple injuries, and were taken to hospital by the Westpac Waikato Air Ambulance.
His 42-year-old wife and their 10-year-old daughter were treated in the emergency department and discharged. The 3-year-old spent four days in a ward and was discharged yesterday.
The Waikato Police serious crash unit is investigating the cause of the crash.
