An accident between a car and a truck left three people injured on Champagne Road near Voor Street in Wellington this morning.
“The car was lying on its roof on the bank of a narrow valley with the truck on top of the car. The two occupants of the car, allegedly a learner driver and a driving instructor, were still trapped inside the vehicle,” said ER24 spokesperson Tristan Wadeley.
The truck and car were stabilised with a crane and a lifter while rescue workers used rescue equipment to remove the patients from the car.
“The patients were both in a moderate condition when they were extricated from the vehicle and were taken by ambulances to a nearby hospital. The driver of the truck sustained minor injuries,” said Wadeley.
The cause of the collision is being investigated by the police.
