This afternoon the Tauranga based Trustpower TECT Rescue Helicopter was dispatched Motiti Is, just off the Tauranga coast, where a 17 year old Whakatane man had tripped and fallen through a window receiving deep lacerations to his right wrist. He was tended too by the onboard St John paramedic before being flown to Tauranga hospital for treatment.
