Mountain Biker flown to Waikato Hospital

Mountain Biker flown to Waikato Hospital

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.
