A 48-year-old on a family holiday from Australia is fighting for his life in hospital after a three-vehicle crash in Waikato which also injured his wife and two children.
The crash occurred on State Highway 23 between Whatawhata and Raglan about 5pm yesterday.
The man was taken by Westpac Waikato Air Ambulance to Waikato Hospital, where he today remained in a critical condition, a hospital spokeswoman said.
His 42-year-old wife was treated in the emergency department and discharged, as was the couple's 10-year-old daughter.
Their 3-year-old son was today in a stable condition in a ward.
