Farmer Injured by Bull

The Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter was dispatched to a farm near Naike, West of Huntly, at approximately 7:30pm this evening to assist a local farmer after he was seriously injured whist working with Bulls in a yard. He suffered serious chest injuries after a heavy impact from a yard gate. He was treated by St John Paramedics at the scene and and flown to Waikato Hospital for further treatment.

Philips Search and Rescue Trust (PSRT) is a charitable organisation, operating rescue helicopters throughout the Central North Island. Philips Search and Rescue Trust relies on support from principal sponsors and community donations. Special thanks to Waikato King Country’s principal sponsor, Westpac. This crucial financial support ensures our rescue helicopters can continue to bring life-saving equipment, rescue personnel and trauma-trained medics directly to the patient.
