Chopper crew film devastating damage on West Coast road after massive storm

February 2, 2018

A chopper crew from Glacier Country Helicopters have captured widespread damage caused to a West Coast road caused by ex-cyclone Fehi.

This shot is of the road north of Franz Josef near Lake Mapourika.

Sarah Keshah had only been in the country three days before getting trapped in the major storm with hundreds of other motorists yesterday.

Ex cyclone Fehi left a path of destruction along State Highway 6 on the West Coast.

The chopper crew are working alongside the Civil Defence by flying generators in to Fox Glacier to keep the water treatment plants running.
