The Palmerston North Rescue Helicopter along with the Lifeflight Rescue Helicopter from Wellington were dispatched to SH2, Mikimiki, in the Wairarapa.
A motor vehicle accident had taken place, involving two vehicles that had collided head-on at high speed.
Both drivers from each car had sustained serious injuries and were treated at the scene by onboard Intensive Care Paramedics from both helicopters.
Due to the serious nature of the injuries of both patients, they were flown to Wellington Hospital for further urgent treatment.
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.
