Police are warning people to steer clear of car surfing after a Taranaki woman was thrown from a four-wheel drive roof and critically injured.
The 26 year-old was taken to Taranaki Base Hospital when the accident occurred in the suburb of Bell Block at around 7pm Wednesday night.
Senior sergeant Terry Vandillen says car-surfing is incredibly unsafe, and should never be attempted.
“While we do everything we can to stop it, obviously they see it as a bit of a thrill, or it’s a dare or whatever it might be, but quite clearly a motor vehicle is a very dangerous instrument in the wrong hands, and if it’s not used properly it can hurt people.”
Police investigations are continuing.
