A man cutting wood has been airlifted to hospital after seriously injuring one of his legs.
The 37-year-old, from Hamilton, was at Piropiro Flats campsite, in the Waikato, when the accident happened this afternoon.
The Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter was called out to the scene because of the remoteness of the area as well as the severity of the man's injury, a statement said.
The man will remain in Waikato Hospital tonight for treatment.
