Scoop has an Ethical Paywall
Injured motorcyclist flown to Wellington Hospital
The Life Flight Trust has this afternoon flown an injured motorcyclist to Wellington Hospital.
At approximately 315pm this afternoon the Life Flight Trust was responded to a motor vehicle accident involving a motorcyclist on SH2, Rimutaka Hill.
Life Flight responded with a Wellington Free Paramedic on board the Westpac Rescue Helicopter.
The patient, a 42 year old man from Wellington, had parted company with his bike approximately 3 km north of the Rimutaka summit. It is believed that no other vehicles were involved.
The Police closed SH2 at the Rimutaka summit briefly while the patient was transferred from a Wellington Free ambulance to the helicopter.
The man was then flown by helicopter to Wellington Hospital Emergency Department, where is being assessed for possible chest injuries.
The Life Flight Trust is a charity providing air rescue and air ambulance services. It operates the Wellington based Westpac Rescue Helicopter and a national air ambulance service. It relies on support from the public and sponsorship from partners such as Westpac to provide these services
