MVA in Dannevirke

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.

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 contributions. The Palmerston North Rescue Helicopter service has been made possible through the generosity of community donations. 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.
