The Rotorua based BayTrust Rescue helicopter was dispatched to Pongakawa where a 13 year old boy fell from his motorbike.
The rider was riding at the Pirini motorbike track and fell from his bike around 1pm yesterday, resulting in a leg injury requiring immediate hospital care.
Due to the remoteness, the helicopter was tasked and local and St John paramedics stabilised the patient before being flown to Tauranga hospital for further treatment.
