Man Injured While Mountain Biking


Man Injured While Mountain Biking


The Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter was dispatched at 11:30 am today to a quad bike accident at Marakopa, south of Kawhia. A 78-year-old Hamilton man had crashed off his quad bike earlier this morning and suffered a serious head injury.

Unfortunately it took several hours for the alarm to be raised as the mans condition meant he had to crawl 100m before he could get a neighbours attention.

He was flown to Waikato Hospital for further assessment and treatment
