Life Flight responded with a Free Ambulance Paramedic on board the Westpac Rescue Helicopter.

The Helicopter landed a short distance from the accident location. The Patient was assessed at the scene and then flown to Wellington Hospital Emergency Department where he is being treated for his injuries.
