The Rotorua based BayTrust Rescue
helicopter was dispatched to Owhango Primary School on
Saturday afternoon, to retrieve a 56yr old male from
Hamilton who fell from his mountain bike riding the 42nd
Traverse. He sustained serious head and neck injuries and
due to the remote location the helicopter was used to
transport him quickly to specialist care. The on site
medics transported the man to a place suitable for the
helicopter to
land.
