Two male occupants of a car were hospitalised yesterday afternoon after a crash on State Highway 2 near Te Awe Awe Rd.
One of the passengers was flown by helicopter to Palmerston North Hospital.
The single-vehicle crash occurred in the Hamua area between Pahiatua and Eketahuna shortly before 1pm.
A police spokeswoman said the car involved was travelling south. All three occupants were men from the Lower Hutt area.
The spokeswoman said it looked like the 42-year-old driver of the vehicle had crossed the centre line before rolling a few times and hitting an embankment.
