Five Singapore Airlines (SIA) crew members were involved in a car crash in Christchurch, New Zealand on Wednesday (Oct 1) morning, with one of them in critical condition and another seriously injured, according to The New Zealand Herald.
The collision at 10.40am local time in Rolleston, about 22km southwest of Christchurch, was between the car with the crew members and a 4x4 vehicle towing a horse float – a trailer used for transporting horses.
Responding to TODAY’s queries, an SIA spokesperson said all five crew members were sent to the hospital for treatment.
“Our immediate concern is for the welfare of our staff and we shall accord them and their families the highest standard of care and assistance,” the spokesperson added.
A statement posted on the New Zealand police department’s website said five ambulances and three response vehicles were dispatched to the scene.
The Fire Service helped to free at least one person, while four people were taken to Christchurch Hospital with two in a serious condition and two with moderate injuries, it added.
