Specialist crew rescues bike rider

Paramedics on the job at Ourimbah

NSW Ambulance paramedics were called to a fire trail at Ourimbah on Sunday morning, March 12, to rescue a woman who sustained chest injuries in a motorbike accident.

Access issues meant the crews had to call in Special Operations paramedics in a 4WD.

Fortunately, a doctor who had been riding with the woman was able to assess and care for her injuries until paramedics arrived.

Later, she thanked the Terrigal team of paramedics who helped her.

“I realise how much worse it could have been – I only narrowly avoided missing a tree and poles – so to walk away with a minor injury, I’m so thankful.”
