Forestry Worker Injured
Forestry Worker Injured
The Tauranga based
Trustpower TECT Rescue helicopter was dispatched to TeKaha
medical center where a forestry worker had been driven by
ambulance
from Waihau Bay. At about 4pm, the 33 year old
male worker was hit by a rolling log and received a serious
head injury. Due to the distance to travel by road to a
local hospital, the helicopter was dispatched with a St John
paramedic and he was flown to Whakatane hospital for further
treatment.
