A person has been critically injured in a "traffic incident" at Tirohanga, 50km east of Whakatane.
Police couldn't be contacted, but St John Ambulance tweeted about the incident late last night.
"At 9.51pm St John attended a traffic incident in Tirohanga ... two vehicles attended the incident and treated one patient and transported to Waikato Hospital."
Meanwhile, a person was also believed to be trapped after a ute towing a trailer crashed into a ditch in Hawke's Bay about 10pm yesterday.
The single-vehicle crash occurred on State Highway 50 at Maraekakaho, 35km south-west of Napier.
