A person is in a serious condition in Whanganui Hospital after a logging truck rolled in Taihape early today.
Fire and Emergency NZ shift manager Michael Anderson said fire crews responded about 5.05am.
“When our crews arrived we found a logging truck that had rolled on its side, and no reports of any persons trapped.”
A Hato Hone St John spokeswoman said they were notified at 5.26am.
An ambulance took a patient in a serious condition to Whanganui Hospital.
Fire services made the logging truck safe, Anderson said.
“At the peak, we did have three fire trucks, a Hazmat unit and a support vehicle there.”
