A forestry worker remains in Tauranga Hospital's Intensive Care Unit after plunging down a Bay of Plenty cliff face yesterday.
A hospital spokeswoman told APNZ the 21-year-old was in a serious but stable condition.
The Rotorua man was replanting pine trees for Tauranga-base Hancock Timber Resource Group about 4km inland from Hawai, north of Opotiki, when he lost his footing about 12.30pm yesterday.
He was flown to Whakatane Hospital in a critical condition before being transferred to Tauranga.
The worker suffered a broken leg, a broken collarbone, and head and neck pain.
