One hurt in vehicle accident on farm at Millers Flat

A helicopter has been used to respond to a vehicle accident on remote farmland at Millers Flat.

A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokeswoman said crews were dispatched to reports of a vehicle accident at the back of a farm in Beaumont Station Rd about 3.50pm today.

Fire crews attended to assist St John staff, but could not access the incident due to the remote terrain, the spokeswoman said.

A Hato Hone St John spokesman said a helicopter was used to respond to the incident.

One patient was airlifted to Dunstan Hospital with minor injuries, he said.
