A seriously injured man was discovered on the side of a Western Bay of Plenty road this afternoon.

Northern Fire Communications shift manager Scott Osmond says crews were dispatched to Maniatutu Road in Pongakawa shortly before 1pm.

'We responded to a report of a road accident and discovered a man injured on the side of the road.

'We don't know if they'd been hit by a vehicle, had been thrown or jumped, or anything.”

A police spokesperson says the man was reported to have sustained serious injuries and was eventually airlifted to hospital.

Police are now making enquiries to ascertain how the man came to be on the side of the road.
