Five people have been rushed to hospital, including a seriously injured man in his 30s, after a car smashed into a power pole and rolled near an oyster farm in Kawakawa Bay, south of Auckland.
Emergency crews were called to the single-vehicle crash on Clevedon-Kawakawa Rd at 8.45am.
An Auckland Westpac Rescue Helicopter spokesman said five people have been taken to Middlemore Hospital by ambulance.
