A person has been cut from a car after a crash at Oceanview Speedway in Whanganui.
Fire and Emergency shift manager Alison Munn said they were called to the speedway just before 6pm on Saturday, and a crew from Whanganui cut someone out of the car following the crash.
The speedway declined RNZ’s request for comment, and has posted on social media asking anyone with footage of the crash to delete it.
“We sincerely ask that if you have footage of what happened in the hotlaps to please delete,” the speedway wrote.
“Was not a pretty sight. Prayers and best wishes to driver, family and friends,” one person wrote on Facebook on the post.
Hato Hone St John said it transported one person to Whanganui hospital in critical condition.
