Man Flown from Hut on the Mohaka river

The Taupo Based Greenlea Rescue helicopter was dispatched last night to the Waiokaka hut in the Mohaka River.
A broken message had been received via mountain radio of an injury involving broken bones from a party staying at the hut.
With the use of Night Vision equipment the Greenlea Rescue Helicopter landed at the hut just after midnight.

A young man, who was initially in a lot of pain, with a suspected fracture to his arm was flown back to Taupo Hospital.
