Snow closed roads meant a trip to Tangiwai shortly after 9.30am for the Palmerston North Rescue Helicopter.
A man in his 20’s had fallen from a snow sled after being towed behind a quad bike. The man had hit a tree and injured his ankles and lower back.
He has treated at the scene by Dewet Pienaar the onboard Intensive Care Paramedic before being flown to Whanganui Hospital.
We here at the Palmerston North Rescue Helicopter have a policy of keeping the media informed of our work. 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.
