The Life Flight Trust transports a Motocross accident Patient from Moonshine Valley Upper Hutt
At 10:55am
this morning the Life Flight Trust responded to Bulls Run,
Moonshine Valley, Upper Hutt to a 50yr old male who was
involved in a Motocross Bike accident.
Life Flight responded with a Wellington Free Paramedic on board the Westpac Rescue Helicopter.
The Helicopter was able to land on a clearing next to the dirt road where the patient was. The patient had been riding his Motocross bike on a track when he fell approx 2m on to a forestry access road. He was complaining of pain to his chest and back. His friends he was riding with were able to call for help via their cell phone.
The patient was flown to Wellington Hospital Emergency Department where he is being treated for his injuries.
The Life Flight Trust is a charity providing air rescue and air ambulance services. It operates the Wellington based Westpac Rescue Helicopter and a national air ambulance service. It relies on support from the public and sponsorship from partners such as Westpac to provide these services.
