This comes after the death of a child in a quad bike rollover accident in Ngatea, Waikato on Saturday.
According to the Auckland Rescue Helicopter’s weekend mission report the incident was reported to emergency services at 3.22pm.
“Crew tasked to Ngatea to assist a child involved in a quad bike rollover accident,” the report said.
“Unfortunately, the child died and crew returned to base.”
The new law will be hard for Northland's sole-charge officers, Police Association says.
