A child has died after a quadbike rolled on a Waikato farm over the weekend.
Emergency services were called to the Kaihere farm in the Hauraki District at around 4pm on Saturday.
One person was found dead.
The serious crash unit conducted an investigation, and WorkSafe was advised.
“Inquiries into the circumstances of the crash are ongoing.”
An Auckland Westpac Rescue Helicopter spokesperson said a crew was set to Ngatea to assist wth a child involved in a quad bike rollover accident.
“Unfortunately, the child died and crew returned to base.”
According to WorkSafe, there was one confirmed fatality from a quadbike accident last year. The worst year in recent times was 2015, when there were nine deaths.
