Give-a-little page set up for SH2 crash victim

The serious crash closed the road for a few hours on Sunday February 3 2019.

A Give-a-Little page has been set up for a crash victim who was involved in a serious crash while traveling towards Tauranga on State Highway 2, on Sunday February 3.

The crash happened at around 1.45pm, and was south of the golf course in Aongatete.

Rohit Kumar, who is the victims elder brother, says she has been left with multiple broken bones, injuries, continuous surgeries and has a long road to recovery.

The post on the Give-a-Little page says the victim, Archana, was on her way from Auckland to Tauranga with her two children and nana, when an oncoming vehicle crossed the centre line and crashed in Archana's vehicle.

'Her vehicle rolled sideways a couple of times and fell into a bank near the side of the road before stopping.

'The kids suffered injuries such as bruising and minor injuries to legs, hips and back. They were discharged from Tauranga Hospital after a couple of days.

'Nana suffered injuries to her head, back and had a bruised heart. She still remains in hospital for care and will be sent to a hospital near her home in Auckland for rehabilitation when she makes significant recovery.

'Archana on the other hand, was flown out to Waikato Hospital from the scene of the accident. She had a ripped shoulder, multiple broken bones of the arm and leg. She had her pelvis bones broken at a couple of places and suffered significant loss of skin and blood.

'She also suffered a major cut from the top of her nose and across her right eye and is currently struggling to see clearly.

'She was on life support and induced coma for several days. The surgeons and doctors have put her back piece by piece using multiple steel plates, bolts and nuts.

'She also requires major skin grafting and will have further intervention to her right eye. Archana is likely to remain in Waikato Hospital for at least a month or more. She may then be sent for some rehabilitation at Tauranga Hospital before she comes home where she will still be bound to move with the use of a wheel chair until she is healed.”

Any donations made through the Give-a-Little page will go towards paying for the children's welfare, such as school, transportation, physiotherapy, medical bills and meeting their basic needs.

The donations will also be used to help Archana when she returns home and for her daily care, further medical bills and modification to her living environment and lifestyle.

So far $4987.60 has been donated.
