A man has been flown to hospital after driving off a bank and travelling 50m down a hill in their car.
The 50-year-old was taken to Middlemore hospital in a critical condition on Saturday night, after crashing in the small coastal town Manaia, in the Coromandel.
An Auckland Westpac Rescue Helicopter flew to the incident around 6:30pm, to assist in taking the man to hospital.
Photos from the scene show firefighters standing at the top of the road, looking down into a heavily forested area.
The red tail light of the car can be seen in amongst the trees.
