A boy experiencing an allergic reaction had to be rushed by police from Paeroa to Thames Hospital under flashing lights and siren.
Police said that at around 9.30pm on Thursday acting sergeant Lyall Randell was returning to his home base at the end of his shift when he encountered a
vehicle travelling over the speed limit, just south of Turua.
“I thought something was amiss because the vehicle had its hazard lights on,” Randell said.
“I pulled the vehicle over and the driver immediately explained the circumstances.
A boy in the car was suffering an anaphylactic reaction from something he’d eaten.
