A woman’s unborn baby has died and two people are critically injured after a crash with a stolen ute driven by a 12-year-old.
Far North Area Commander Inspector Riki Whiu said police were called to head-on the crash involving two vehicles on State Highway 1, near Bullman Rd, Okaihau around 9.08pm yesterday.
“Tragically, one of the people taken to the hospital with critical injuries was pregnant and that baby has now died.
“The woman remains in hospital in a critical but stable condition and police are providing support to her loved ones.”
Whiu said four people were taken to hospital - two in a critical condition and four in a moderate condition.
