Man critical after motorised stool crash A NEW Zealand man is in a critical, but stable condition after crashing a motorised bar stool north of Auckland. The man, 62, had just left the Puhoi pub on the recreational vehicle - a go-kart with a bar stool on top - when he fell on Friday afternoon. He was driving on the road without wearing a helmet. The man was airlifted to Auckland City Hospital with serious head injuries. He was in a critical, but stable condition on Saturday afternoon, a hospital spokeswoman said. Inspector Mark Fergus on Friday said police were investigating whether alcohol contributed to the crash. "The vehicle was not road-legal and we've seized it so it can be mechanically examined," he said.
