Two people remain missing after the quad bike they were riding rolled into a swimming hole in the rural Far North on Friday. 

Six people were on the quad bike when it went into the swollen Waikainga Stream about 5.15pm, police said. 

Four managed to get out of the water but searchers are still looking for the remaining two people. 

Police confirmed shortly after noon that the Dive Squad have been requested to assist the search in the Waikainga Stream. 

“Support is being offered to those involved,” a spokesperson said. 

Emergency services and two rescue helicopters rushed to the Fern Flat Rd address in Peria, east of Kaitāia in Northland, yesterday. 

Three people and the driver were last night taken to hospital with minor and moderate injuries while Search and Rescue continued their efforts into the evening.
