Today at 2:20pm, the TrustPower TECT rescue
helicopter was called to Rangiwaea Island in the inner
harbour where a 51 year old female was hit on the head by
tractor forks. The forks came dis-lodged on the tractor
boom and fell resulting in a bad head laceration. The
accident could have been a lot more serious but appeared to
be a glancing blow. Due to the location, the helicopter
was required and flew the patient to Tauranga hospital for
further
treatment.
