On Friday evening the Palmerston North Rescue Helicopter was dispatched to Raetihi for a 25-year-old male.
The man in his 20’s had put his arm through a window causing a deep laceration to his forearm and had lost a considerable amount of blood.
He was treated at the scene by onboard Intensive Care Paramedic Dewet Pienaar before being transported to Whanganui Hospital for further medical care.

We do this as a service to the media and in an effort to raise our profile with the public to assist with our fundraising campaigns. Our service is only possible because of sponsor support and donations. We appreciate seeing our name in any stories utilising information supplied by us.
