Two people have been injured, one seriously, after rolling a quad bike in the Far North late this afternoon.
St John Ambulance could not be contacted, but a police spokeswoman confirmed one person had been seriously injured. A second person had moderate injuries, but she did not have any other details.
Northern Fire Communications' shift manager Paul Radden said a rescue helicopter was on the way to the incident at Wreck Bay Rd in Ahipara, 17 kilometres south-west of Kaitaia.
Firefighters had been told the quad bike had rolled, but he knew little more than that, Radden said.
