One person has been taken to Whanganui Hospital in a serious condition following a single-vehicle crash in Turakina.

Police, Hato Hone St John and Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) were alerted to the incident on Wanganui Rd at around 2.50pm today.

A Hato Hone St John spokesperson said staff assessed and treated one person before taking them to Whanganui Hospital in a serious condition.

A FENZ spokesperson said one Whanganui crew was called to the scene.

No one was trapped in the car, so firefighters assisted paramedics at the incident with scene safety.
