A child has been airlifted to hospital in a critical condition after an incident in the water at a West Auckland beach. A St John spokeswoman said two patients were transported in separate helicopters to Starship Children’s Hospital and Auckland City Hospital. A child was in a critical condition and the other patient, an adult, was in a serious condition, she said. She jumped into the water to save them as they were being swept away by the current.
