4 November 2024
The 30 had just landed in New Zealand - and their bus rolled en route to the Mr Apple orchard.
Eleven people were injured -- three seriously.
Mr Apple spokesman, Gary Jones, told RNZ four workers remain in hospital, and the rest are in Hawke's Bay.
He says counsellors and Pacific Health are on site this morning.
Hawke's Bay Fruit Growers Association's Callum Ross says they're ready to support the workers in every possible way.
