A low-flying topdressing plane sparked incorrect fears of a crash and a full emergency services response in Mercer, Waikato, this morning.
Police and the Auckland Westpac Rescue Helicopter service responded to a report of a plane crash just before 8.30am.
However police later confirmed the report was incorrect. The aircraft was a low-flying topdressing plane and a witness had wrongly thought they had seen smoke coming from the aircraft.
Emergency services have been stood down.
