A couple has been airlifted to hospital after their date at Castlepoint went wrong.
The Life Flight Westpac rescue helicopter airlifted a middle-aged Wellington couple to Wairarapa Hospital yesterday afternoon after a motorcycle crash at Castlepoint.
The crash happened at the end of Jetty Rd near the chapel after the woman tried to ride the man's 1300CC Harley-Davidson, police said.
Police said the woman had grabbed the throttle, causing the motorcycle to veer across the road and into a bank.
The woman had a possible broken leg and the man was bruised and had some possible fractures.
