Life Flight Westpac Helicopter Rescues Mountain Biker
At approximately 1030 this morning Life Flight was tasked to rescue an injured mountain biker from Makara Peak. Life Flight responded with the Westpac Rescue helicopter with a Wellington Free Ambulance Intensive Care Paramedic on board.
A man in his 20’s had been mountain biking on the Peak Flow track when he crashed, suffering serious leg injuries. The medic was winched 20 meters down to the track where the patient was treated and stabilized, then winched back up to the helicopter and transported to Wellington Hospital for treatment.
The Life Flight Trust is a
charity providing air rescue and air ambulance services. It
operates the Wellington based Westpac Rescue Helicopter and
a nationwide air ambulance service. It relies on support
from the public and sponsorship from partners such as
Westpac to provide these services.
