A 12-year-old boy was rushed to hospital with serious injuries after a vehicle rolled in the Bay of Plenty this afternoon.
The Rotorua-based BayTrust Rescue helicopter was called to Edgecumbe, west of Whakatane, after the crash about 12.45pm.
The boy was flown to Waikato Hospital with serious injuries.
Tauranga's TECT Rescue Helicopter was also called to fly a patient to Waikato Hospital.
"Due to the time critical nature of the injuries and the urgency to get to specialised care, the helicopters were used," the BayTrust rescue service said in a statement.
