One person was seriously injured and another received minor injuries when a campervan was blown onto its side on State Highway 50 near Tikokino Rd in Hawke's Bay at about 2:45 pm on Sunday. The road was blocked in both directions and the serious crash unit was called as firefighters freed two trapped people; the road reopened around 6:30 pm. Minutes earlier, a truck's trailer was blown over on State Highway 2 near Takapau, blocking both lanes; a crane was requested. Firefighters also responded to at least six other wind-related incidents in Central Hawke's Bay, including three burnoffs spreading and several trees down.
