A man who suffered serious injuries at a Snells Beach boat ramp has been flown to Auckland City Hospital.
The Auckland Westpac Rescue Helicopter was deployed to assist the man who was hurt while retrieving a boat.
Attending co-pilot Aaron Knight said the man was injured as he tried to climb on a tractor.
"(He) went to jump on a tractor and the tractor was driven forward.
"He was caught by rear wheel of the tractor and run over," Knight said.
