At around 1.30pm on Sunday, March 24, the Westpac Rescue Helicopter was tasked by NSW Ambulance to a rural property at Somersby following reports of a man in his 80s who suffered serious injuries following a quad bike accident.
The man was treated by paramedics for head injuries prior to the arrival of the helicopter’s critical care medical team.
When the team arrived they stabilised the man, then airlifted him to John Hunter Hospital in a serious but stable condition.
