Man Injured While Mountain Biking
The Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter was dispatched at 11:30 am today to a quad bike accident at Marakopa, south of
Kawhia. A 78-year-old Hamilton man had crashed off his quad bike earlier this morning and suffered a serious head
injury.
Unfortunately it took several hours for the alarm to be raised as the mans condition meant he had to crawl 100m before
he could get a neighbours attention.
He was flown to Waikato Hospital for further assessment and treatment
