Police are seeking witnesses to a crash on Kerikeri Road yesterday at approximately 5.00pm.
A white Mitsubishi Triton Ute travelling towards north Kerikeri has pulled to the left side of SH10, south of the Kerikeri Road roundabout.
The ute struck three lamp posts before it rolled and landed on its roof just before the roundabout.
The front passenger needed to be freed from the vehicle by the Fire Service. She was subsequently flown to hospital for treatment and has no serious injuries.
There were three children in the back of the vehicle who were appropriately restrained. They suffered some bumps and bruises but no serious injuries.
