One of the men involved in a crash south of Te Puke remains in a serious condition at Tauranga Hospital.
The 38-year-old man was taken to hospital yesterday following a crash involving a motorcycle and a car on Maketu Rd.
A 21-year-old man suffered moderate injuries and was also taken
to hospital, where he was discharged last night, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Emergency services were called to the crash, near the intersections with Te Tumu Rd and the Te Puke Highway, about 3.20pm. In a 5.51pm statement police said Maketu Rd was closed and asked motorists to avoid the area.
A Bay of Plenty Times photographer at the scene saw a motorbike lying in a trench about 30m from a silver sedan, which had a damaged front wheel on the driver's side and airbags deployed inside.
