A woman is in Rotorua Hospital with head injuries after being flown from Ruatahana, located in the Urewera National Park.
The Rotorua based BayTrust Rescue Helicopter flew to a house near the township on Sunday about 1.45pm after reports the 58-year-old had suffered suspected head injuries.

BayTrust Rescue Helicopter pilot Barry Vincent says the helicopter was despatched as the location is very remote and time was critical.
Ruatahuna is located 90 kilometres west of Gisborne, and 18 kilometres northwest of Lake Waikaremoana.
The woman was flown to Rotorua Hospital in a comfortable condition, says Barry.
