Bay Rescue Helicopter was called out to help a hang glider who crashed in Reporoa.

A man has been injured after his hang glider crashed in a field in Reporoa.

The Bay Trust Rescue helicopter was called out to a Reporoa rugby field yesterday afternoon where a 45-year-old male crash landed in a paddock with his hang glider.

He was treated by St Johns Intensive care paramedics and flown to Rotorua Hospital.

The Bay Trust Rescue helicopter was called out again to airlift a 17-year-old girl from the Wairere Falls in the Kaimai Range last night.

She slipped and fell onto rocks hurting her hip and leg. She was carried out by stretcher to a suitable landing area by the local firefighters and her friends.
