Person transported to hospital with critical injuries after falling off bicycle in Māngere

A person has been left critically injured after falling from their bicycle at a South Auckland park.

A Hato Hone St John spokesperson said they responded to reports a person had fallen off their bike at Ambury Regional Park in Māngere Bridge this evening.

One ambulance, one rapid response vehicle and an operations manager attended the scene.

”One person was transported to Auckland City Hospital in a critical condition,” a spokesperson said.

On the shore of the Manukau Harbour, Ambury Regional Park is a working farm, an education centre and a birdwatcher’s paradise.

It takes its name from the Ambury Milk Company, which milked cows and ran a town milk supply in Auckland from 1893 to 1965.

The park allows visitors to get up close to sheep, goats, cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, rabbits, peacocks and horses.
