    Three people are in hospital after surf life savers were alerted by screams at Coromandel's Tairua Beach

    Three people are in hospital after surf life savers were alerted by screams at Coromandel's Tairua Beach


    Surf Life Saving NZ says a trio called for help just before 6pm yesterday.

    Two were rescued from the water and returned to shore - and a third got themselves out.

    One was flown to hospital and two taken by ambulance.

    It's one week after a boat capsized at the notorious Tairua bar.
