Two people - a woman and a toddler - have been flown by rescue helicopter to Taranaki Base Hospital after the people-mover they were in hit ice and rolled in the Uruti Valley north of New Plymouth this morning.
A total of eight people were in the vehicle when it slid off SH3, rolled down a bank, and ended upside-down in a swamp shortly after 7am.
The woman and toddler were hospitalised as a precaution, authorities said.
