MVA in Dannevirke

The Palmerston North based Rescue Helicopter was dispatched to Dannevirke this afternoon after a man in his 30's was injured in a motor vehicle accident involving one car. The man sustained head injuries and was stabilised by St John paramedics. He was transported by road and met the helicopter at the nearby airfield and was then airlifted to Palmerston North Hospital. The helicopter was dispatched due to the time critical nature of the injuries.
