Two riders flown to rotorua hospital

Two riders flown to rotorua hospital

The Taupo Based Greenlea Rescue helicopter was dispatched to broadlands, north of Taupo yesterday evening.

A man sustained pelvic injuries falling from a horse, and was flown to Rotorua hospital.
Today the Greenlea helicopter transported a motorcyclist, who had also fallen from his mount north of Taupo. Once again to Rotorua, in this instance with leg and shoulder injuries.

Philips Search and Rescue Trust is a charitable organisation, operating rescue helicopters throughout the Central North Island. Philips Search and Rescue Trust relies on support from principal sponsors and community donations. Special thanks to Taupo's principal sponsor, Greenlea. This crucial financial support ensures our rescue helicopters can continue to bring life-saving equipment, rescue personnel and trauma-trained medics directly to the patient.
