Tulloch Transport director and championship winning Motorsport driver Ian “Inky” Tulloch is in a critical condition in Southland Hospital after a crash at the Teretonga Park circuit in Invercargill yesterday.
According to Stuff, Tulloch was piloting a Honda Integra in the Clubmans Saloon races when the car hit a tyre wall on a the loop at the circuit.
St John South Island acting communications advisor Robbie Walker told Stuff that St John received a call at 3.55pm on Sunday from Teretonga Park for a patient in critical condition.
An Ambulance transported Tulloch to Southland Hospital, says Walker.
Tulloch is a former mayor of Gore, and he has participated in many forms of motorsport, including saloon car and truck racing since 1974.
Tulloch Transport began in 1945 in Mataura when Tulloch’s father Mac purchased a local truck business on his return from the War.
Since then the company has grown and diversified into all areas of Road Transportation under Inky’s leadership.
Tulloch Transport sold its South Island freight division in 2009 and continued a focus on specialist transport services from its hubs in Christchurch and Mataura.
