    A child remains in intensive care after a boat flipped in Otago, killing another child


    A family of five were on board the small craft when it capsized, as it tried to cross the Taieri Mouth bar on Saturday.

    Two separate investigations have been launched - by Maritime New Zealand and police, on behalf of the Coroner.

    Police say they're supporting the family at the centre of the tragedy.
