Brian Kelly: Newstalk ZB Sports reporter on the slip that hit tents and campers at a Mount Maunganui campsite
from Kerre Woodham Mornings Podcast · host Newstalk ZB
People still aren't accounted for in Mount Maunganui's Beachside Holiday Park after a landslide roared into the campsite at the base of the mountain at about 9.30 this morning. Images show a caravan on its side inside the nearby the hot pools. Newstalk ZB Sport reporter Brian Kelly says about 30 police cars have arrived – the most he's seen in the town. He says there’s a couple of helicopters, seven or eight fire engines, and a digger on scene, and the only comment he’s gotten is from a police officer who was sprinting past, saying the slip is bad. The torrential rain that's lashed the North Island's east coast has caused flooding, slips, and road closures. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
