Three people were injured, one seriously, in a three-car crash at Mangatarata in the Hauraki Plains District south-east of Auckland late this afternoon.

Whitianga-based crew of the Auckland Westpac Rescue Helicopter were dispatched to the scene at 4.27pm.

Seven people were in the vehicles and four of them escaped injury.

A spokesperson for the Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust says a boy suffered suspected multiple injuries including a broken arm and was in a serious condition. 

His father and sister suffered minor injuries, and all three were flown to Waikato Hospital. 

St John Ambulance says the boy remains in serious condition and the other four people in the vehicles were uninjured.
