Two Rotorua teenagers who were seriously injured in separate road crashes at the weekend both remain in a serious condition.
About 2.30am on Sunday, a car crashed into a power pole at the intersection of Rotorua's Edmund Rd and Alison St in Rotorua.
The four people in the car were aged between
16 and 19.
A 19-year-old man was taken to Rotorua Hospital with serious injuries suffered in the crash.
Police say alcohol, speed and the weather may all have been contributing factors.
The Daily Post understands the group were on their way home from a 21st birthday party on Saturday night.
The other three people in the car received moderate injuries.
A spokeswoman at Rotorua Hospital said the teenager remained in a serious condition.
Rotorua police are still investigating.
A second 19-year-old Rotorua man was in a critical but stable condition in Waikato Hospital, after being involved in a three-car crash on State Highway 2, Maramarua at about 4pm on Sunday.
Five people were injured in the crash.
SH2 was closed while emergency services were at the scene.
Waikato Hospital spokeswoman Mary Anne Gill said that the teenager had surgery on Sunday night and was moved into the intensive care unit yesterday.
