The Westpac Rescue Helicopter was called to Whiteman's Valley Upper Hutt last night at 7:30pm 19 Nov 09.

A 9yr old boy had fallen while playing on the trampoline at home and had suffered head and neck injuries.

The Westpac Rescue Helicopter responded to the location with a Wellington Free Paramedic onboard. A Wellington Free Ambulance was already at the location and had immobilised the patient ready for the flight.

The boy was flown back to the Wellington Hospital Emergency Department where he is being treated for his injuries.

The Westpac rescue Helicopter was then dispatched at 9:00pm to Tinui in the Wairarapa to 7mth old who was having a seizure.

Due to the remote location of the location the Ambulance and Fire Service had not long been at the scene before the arrival of the helicopter.

Once the baby was assessed by the Wellington Free Paramedic the baby and the mother were flown back to the Wellington Hospital Emergency Department.

Both patients are in a stable condition in Wellington Hospital
