A St John spokesperson said three ambulances and one helicopter were sent to the scene.
“Our crews assessed and treated one patient in a moderate condition and four patients in a minor condition; all were transported to Lakes District Hospital by road,” the spokesperson said.
There was also a separate incident in Matamata overnight, leading to a person being airlifted to Waikato Hospital in “critical condition”.
It brings the Matariki holiday road toll to two.
