An arrest has been made after a Tauranga road worker was seriously injured.
Emergency services were called to the scene last night about 7pm on State Highway 2, near the intersection with Turner Rd.
The worker was taken to Tauranga Hospital.
A 27-year-old man is now due to appear in the Tauranga District Court next week on a charge of wounding with reckless disregard for the safety of others.
Police earlier put out a plea for information after the incident, in a press release, and subsequently said the help from the public led to "strong lines of inquiry".
