Tourist critically injured in crash

A crash involving a van and motorbike happened at the intersection of SH25 and Hikuai Settlement Road in the Coromandel.

Police are trying to contact the next of kin of a woman who was critically injured in a crash on the Coromandel.

A Ford transit van and a Suzuki motorbike collided near the intersection of State Highway 25 and Hikuai Settlement Rd at 5.30pm.

"A German tourist was a passenger on the bike and she suffered life threatening injuries," says Senior Sergeant Simon Cherry, of Waikato police.

The woman along with the other rider of the motorbike, who is in a serious condition, were airlifted to Auckland Hospital.

"We are working with Interpol and the German embassy to contact the woman's next of kin."

The roads were closed for a period last night and detours were in place. But the road reopened this morning.
